Tasting Notes
Cherries and plums with a hint of mint and cocoa come easily in the nose and mouth. Fresh, early drinking and fruity, this is going to be enjoyable on release.

The 2022 Ferrande is a bold, assertive wine. Black cherry, gravel, incense, tobacco, menthol and cured meats are all amplified in this decidedly potent Graves. Ferrande is a bit rustic, but not in a bad way.
A pretty, elegant Graves based on 58% Merlot and 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2022 Château De Ferrande has plenty of pure red and blue fruits as well as floral and mineral nuances. It's medium-bodied and has fine tannins, a seamless, silky mouthfeel, and outstanding length. It's an impressive barrel sample.
Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2022 Ferrande Rouge offers up vibrant notes of Morello cherries, boysenberries, and black raspberries, followed by suggestions of roses and cloves. The medium-bodied palate is coated with lively red and black fruit preserves, framed by soft tannins and finishing with a peppery lift.
