Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

The 2021 La Gravette De Certan is all Merlot, as all of the Cabernet Franc went into the Grand Vin. From healthy yields of 38 hectoliters per hectare and brought up in 50% new French oak, it has a vivid ruby hue to go with classic Pomerol notes of ripe black cherries, kirsch, spring flowers, and hints of damp earth. It's medium-bodied, has a pure, elegant mouthfeel, nicely integrated acidity, and outstanding length. Drink this charming, fruit-forward, wonderfully textured second wine over the coming decade.
