The 2021 Meyney offers up notes of dark berries, dried fruits, undergrowth and toasty oak, followed by a medium-bodied, taut and somewhat astringent palate.

The 2021 Château Meyney is based on 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, and 12% Petit Verdot, and it's a solid 2021 with its redcurrant, cranberry, green tobacco, and cedar pencil aromas and flavors. It's medium-bodied, has a rather lean, focused texture, ripe tannins, and solid overall balance. A classy, more old school-inspired effort from this château, it has just enough ripeness to keep it interesting and enjoyable. I followed a bottle for multiple days, and it held up admirably. This is a classic drinker to enjoy over the coming decade or so.

James Suckling

A refined and complex expression for the vintage with sweet red chili pepper, cassis, red plums, pencil shavings and a cedary edge. Medium to full body with silky, fine tannins and a lengthy, polished finish. An overachiever here that shows finesse and sophistication. Already a joy to drink now, but should age nicely in the next decade.
