Château Maison Noble Saint Martin 2022

A blend of merlot, cabernet sauvignon, and cabernet franc, this wine was aged partially (70%) in barrels and partially (30%) in stainless steel. It’s a very attractive wine that shows well-layered, ripe fruit flavours – mainly red fruit and berries — and well-calibrated acidity. With well-resolved tannins, it’s a lovely wine that’s very versatile with food. It’s drinking very well now and will easily hold through the 2020s. (Rod Phillips,Jan. 2, 2025)
