During my tasting with Luc, I was also able to taste a few older vintages. The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Passionnement is showing beautifully and has the open, sexy, seamless style of the vintage front and center. Blueberries, graphite, loads of spice, and some forest floor notes give way to a full-bodied, elegant and seamless 2012 that’s on the early edge of its drink window.  (6/2018)

 Black cherry, dark spice, chocolate, leather, menthol and licorice are pushed forward in the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Passionement. Dark, sumptuous and beautifully expressive in the modern style of Napa Valley Cabernet, the Passionement offers notable depth and raciness throughout. Passionement is a blend of fruit from Andy Beckstoffer's To Kalon and Missouri Hopper vineyards. (AG)  (8/2016)
