The Character

Tasting Notes The 2021 Roy Estate Mr. Evans exults with extremely generous aromatics of vibrant red fruits—currant, plum—at the fore. This finely calibrated tension between energy and decadence results from the dynamic blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot planted on the benchland vineyard blocks at the foot of the Roy Estate site. Deeper notes of black licorice then take hold, integrating flawlessly with warm, luxurious tones of toasted brioche and exotic hardwood. The rich loam soils of those lower Roy Estate vineyard blocks carry into the glass with an ethereal minerality. The overall impression is one of great finesse, where the wine’s arresting aromatics give rise to a finely crafted, indulgent core and an eminently graceful finish. Just as the vineyard continues to yield wines of ever-greater intensity as it matures, this Grand Cru will develop and improve over the next 20 years.

The Story

Our Roy Estate Mr. Evans demonstrates the heights achieved by the artful blending of select lots of our Cabernet Sauvignon with smaller, precisely tuned additions of other Bordeaux varietals also grown on the property. This single vineyard, estate grown Mr. Evans, produced in limited quantities of 400 to 750 cases, is a wine of striking complexity, beautifully polished with substantial structure. The wine’s depth and fine tannins reflect the attributes of our spectacular site. This Cabernet Sauvignon-led, Bordeaux blend is aged up to 21 months in new Taransaud French oak barrels to heighten complexity and deepen aromas. Over its releases, this wine has reaped raving reviews from renowned wine critics and experts.
