Reviewed December 2025The Bordeaux blend idea of the estate that's always based largely on Merlot, the 2023 Firebelle Estate Red Blend checks in as 63% Merlot, 21% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot aged in 64% new French oak. Its deep ruby/plum hue is followed by a beautiful nose of ripe black cherry and blackberry fruits, intermixed with scorched earth, graphite, and crushed stone. It's medium to full-bodied, has a concentrated, layered mouthfeel, plenty of mid-palate depth, integrated oak, and a great finish. It's clearly the finest vintage of this I've tasted. Drink 2026-2036.

A bright, fresh and focused Bordeaux blend with plenty of flesh. depth, fine-boned tannins and bright acidity. This is a delightful blend of 63% merlot, 21% cabernet sauvignon, 14% cabernet franc and 2% petit verdot, with plenty of red fruit, spices and a juicy finish. Drink or hold. (RM)
