The best vintage of Alluvio yet and the most universally appealing, the blend works so harmoniously to marry rich Cabernet black fruits with velvety Merlot red fruits. Like the Coulee, the texture is mind-melting and creamy--it would be enough if it stopped there but no, give me tobacco, warm earth, and graphite accents and you've made me an even bigger fan. -Marcus
93-95 points Jeb Dunnuck: "Another gem, the 2019 Parabellum Alluvio offers loads of cassis, tobacco leaf, graphite, and lead pencil notes in a full-bodied, pure, beautifully balanced, layered package. The entry level Bordeaux blend from this team, it's a gorgeous wine in the making that will have upfront appeal yet also keep for 15 years if you're so inclined."
