Very intense color: a dense, deep red-black. This wine is powerful and complex on the nose and has notes of blond tobacco, blackberries and pepper spices. On the palate it is heavy, intense and persistent and displays notes of black fruits, spice, licorice and white pepper. The oak is discreet and integrated into the richness of the wine. Very long finish of silky tannins.

Reviewer: Antonio Galloni

The 2009 La Joie is dazzling. Firm yet well-integrated tannins frame an expressive core of dark red and black fruit, graphite, cassis, mocha and minerals. This is one of the more structured wines in the lineup, and it will require a few years in bottle for the tannins to soften. I especially like the energy and focus here. In 2009 the blend is 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot and 2% Malbec.
