We are proud to announce that for the fourth consecutive vintage, our dearest Purple Angel obtained an extraordinary 99 points from the renowned Canadian wine writer and critic, Natalie MacLean.
This time the rating was assigned to our 2017 vintage, described by her as “A cult classic, lush and elegant produced from 92% Caménère and 8% Petit Verdot grapes. Opaque in the glass, rich with blackberry, plum, blackcurrant, ripe cherry, bell pepper, thyme, sweet spice and silky dark chocolate. Consistently great, this wine has it all. Pair with filet mignon and date night.”
She has also made a pairing recommendation: “veal roast, slow-cooked brisket of beef, rabbit fricassée.”
This score inspires us to work even harder, with greater passion, to raise Purple Angel, Closer to the Divine.
