Michael Grimm

Der Jahrgang 2018 gehört sicherlich zu den besten kalifornischen Jahrgängen der letzten zwei Jahrzehnte. Er war geprägt von idealen Wetterbedingungen. Diese Cuvée setzt sich aus 90% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc und 4% Malbec zusammen und wurde in neuer französischer Eiche ausgebaut. Der La Muse 2018 strahlt in einer dichten und tiefen rubinvioletten Farbe. Die Nase wird erfüllt von reifer Zwetschge, frischen Veilchen und frisch gebackenem Brot. Am Gaumen tritt der Rotwein in einer Fülle von Aromen von schwarzen Früchten und Zartbitterschokolade auf. Diese Opulenz wird von pudrigen Tanninen und heller Säure getragen, die die Fülle des Weines beeindruckend gut ausbalancieren. Im Abgang ist der Wein lang, reichhaltig und komplex. Diese Cuvée, deren Fundament Merlot ist, ist wahrlich ein Meisterwerk!

From: Seeing 20/20 – Sonoma & Anderson Valley New Releases (Jan 2020) 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.

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. (01/2022)

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. (07/2021)

The 2018 La Muse is a blend of 90% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, and 4% Malbec, aged 16 months in 100% new French oak barrels. Deep garnet-purple in color, it prances out of the glass with vivacious notes of crushed black plums, mulberries, and juicy blackberries, plus hints of wild sage, damp soil, tar, and aniseed with a touch of raspberry leaves. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has amazing tension, with super fine-grained, rounded tannins and layer upon layer of black fruits and minerals, finishing very long and vibrant. 2,500 cases were made.

Parker – Wine Advocate

100 POINTS

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!
