So aromatic and fresh with black olives black truffles gravel and dried flowers. Milk chocolate. Ovaltine. Full-bodied with fantastic old-vine tannins. Layered and very structured. Goes deep and down. One for the cellar. Superb. Maybe the best ever. 80% merlot and the rest cabernet franc. Needs ten years here.

A blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc the 2020 Hosanna has a deep garnet-purple color. It requires a swirl or two before it erupts with powerful scents of plum preserves black raspberries and fruitcake giving way to hi

The 2020 Hosanna has a spellbinding bouquet with beautifully-defined red berry fruit incense and dried flower aromas underlying graphite notes surfacing with modest aeration. There is real power and drive in these aromatics. The palate is medium-bodied with quite a strict opening. Finely-chiseled tannins very focused slightly earthy in style this is endowed with a compelling sense of build towards the finish. This is a Hosanna with great breeding and predestined for long-term aging.

Lively on the nose so expressive but in a lifted bright and lively way not so dark and brooding more 'look how pretty I am right now'. Floral and dark fruit - blackcurrant plum red cherry powerful but poised too this has elegance and charisma form the start bright acidity gives a slightly strict frame but the fruit tannis acidity oak handling are supremely good. Feels so beautiful a touch shy with liquorice edges and some dark chocolate elements. Supremely easy to like and see the star quality here. It?s intense and concentrated but shimmers and shines in the glass. The purity is exceptional and I love the balance and length. Detailed and well designed - what a wine!

Well-formed with a solid core of cassis plum reduction and blackberry compote notes that stretch out slowly supported by wood spice dried anise and apple wood accents along the way. A late tug of warm earth and sweet tobacco adds depth and length. Captures the exotic edge of the vintage without losing focus -- no easy feat. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2026 through 2038. 1200 cases made 85 cases imported.
Wine Advocate: 94 Points
The 2020 Hosanna is rich and sun-kissed in style offering up aromas of berry liqueur figs licorice aniseed and vine smoke followed by a full-bodied ripe and gourmand palate with a generous core of confit fruit polished tannins and a suave enveloping profile. This ripe unctuous red wouldn't be out of place in a tasting of contemporary Napa Valley Cabernets.
