The 2019 Echo de Lynch-Bages is composed of 53% Merlot, 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 1% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple in color, it comes barreling out of the glass with bold notions of warm cassis, baked blueberries, and fragrant soil, followed by hints of cedar and clove oil. The medium-bodied palate is taut with muscular black fruits, framed by ripe, grainy tannins, finishing long and fragrant.
