A perfect wine in this vintage, the 2005 Péby Faugères has the classic liqueur of blueberries and spring flowers. Dense purple and full-bodied, with unbelievable richness, this tastes like a great Napa Cab from the Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard, even though there’s no Cabernet Sauvignon in it. This is a sensational wine – rich, full and multi-dimensional, with a skyscraper-like mid-palate and finish. Kudos to Péby Faugères for producing one of the perfect wines of the vintage. Drink it in about 3-4 years as well as over the following two decades. - Robert M. Parker, Jr.

Elegantly integrated tannins, lush density of fruit, plums and berries, with a minty freshness, that has developed complex notes of undergrowth and worn leather. This is an impressive wine, and shows the long life of wines from this estate.

Black in color with a very extracted nose of new wood blackberry and sweet tobacco. Full-bodied with raisin spice and coffee bean character. A full-throttle style. This is a big juicy Merlot. Best after 2014. 915 cases made. –JS
