Luke Wines Luke The Companion Red Blend 2020 750ml

A classic Bordeaux blend supplemented by 14% Syrah, this companion brings large amounts of blackberries, coriander and sandalwood spice to the aromatic table. The tannins are sturdy enough to support jammy black cherry and dark plum fruit flavors that are supplemented by cedar and thyme. (Michael Alberty)

The 2020 Red Blend The Companion wafts up with a minty freshness, complicated by dusty dried cherries and savory herbs. It's cool-toned with silken textures, as ripe red fruits flow easily across the palate, punctuated by a hint of white pepper toward the close. The 2020 tapers off with medium-length, leaving strawberry notes framed by a gentle tug of tannin. So pretty and so balanced; I could drink this any day of the week. (Eric Guido)
