Élaborée à partir de 90 % de merlot, 6 % de cabernet franc et 4 % de malbec, La Muse 2018 offre un nez subtil et délicat, très merlot bien mur sans être trop mur comme beaucoup de vins californiens. Des arômes de prune, de fruits noirs, d'épices, de fleurs et de framboise se font jour après aération. Charnue et juteuse, la bouche est délicate, tout en rondeur, en puissance contenue avec une délicatesse de tanins superbe. On ressent la pointe de cabernet franc en finale grâce à une sensation aérienne. Une très grande bouteille qui fera date à la propriété. Pour dans 15 à 20 ans.

A blend of 90% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 4% Malbec, the 2018 La Muse was matured 16 months in 100% new French oak barrels. Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the nose delivers a powerful perfume of cherry pie, blackberry preserves and baked plums, followed by suggestions of red roses, cast-iron pan, underbrush and unsmoked cigars, plus wafts of licorice and oolong tea. Medium to full-bodied, the black fruit and exotic spice layers flow so gracefully over the palate, textured by plush tannins and lifted with seamless freshness, finishing epically long and achingly fragrant. The intensity and complexity of aromas and flavors—all waltzing in captivating harmony—cannot fail to make your head spin in the best possible way. Electrifying!

Checking in as 90% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, and 4% Malbec that was raised in new French oak, the 2018 La Muse reveals a dense purple hue to go with plenty of black cherry and currant fruits as well as cedar pencil, graphite, dark chocolate, and smoked tobacco. Ripe, full-bodied, and brilliantly balanced on the palate, with both elegance and incredible opulence, it's a hypothetical mix of Châteaux Canon and Lafite. This masterpiece of a Merlot can be drunk any time over the coming 20-30 years. Give bottles an hour in a decanter if drinking any time soon.

One of the most refined and tight Muses with blackberries, milk chocolate, pine needles and hints of dried herbs. Full-bodied, yet so in check with a great finish. It’s seamless and goes on and one. Intellectual, compared to past vintages. 90% merlot with some malbec and cabernet franc. Try after 2026, but attractive now.

The 2018 La Muse was tasted as a final-blend barrel sample, due to be bottled in January 2021. Composed of 90% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, and 4% Malbec, it will have been aged for 16 months in 100% new French oak. Deep garnet-purple colored, it comes galloping out of the glass with energetic scents of freshly crushed black and red plums, wild blueberries, red currant jelly and boysenberries with hints of crushed rocks, truffles and black olives plus a waft of damp earth. Full-bodied, the palate is taut and muscular with firm, grainy tannins and bold freshness, finishing incredibly long and incredibly nuanced. 2,500 cases are due to be made.

The 2018 La Muse, 90% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc and 3% Malbec, is floral, elegant and light on its feet for such a rich wine. Hillside vineyards in Chalk Hill, Alexander Valley, Knights Valley and Bennett Valley confer structure and a good bit of savory intensity. The 2018 is full of intrigue, that much is clear.
