Tasting Notes
"Cabernet Franc from the mountains of Knights Valley is what gives this wine its unique character. The 2000 Le Désir is a deep, saturated purple color with a tremendous bouquet of sweet black fruits. Complex and alluring, this wine can be enjoyed now and over the next twenty years."
- Pierre Seillan, Vigneron






Acclaim
92 Points, International Wine Cellar, Stephen Tanzer, May 2002
"Good full ruby-red. Superripe aromas of black fruits, minerals, licorice and roast coffee, with floral, roasted and medicinal elements. Minerally, lush and sweet; dense and very long. A very long-scaled 2000, more filled in than the overwhelming majority of red wines from this vintage."

89-92 Points, The Wine Advocate, Robert M. Parker, Jr., August 2002
"It possesses a dense saturated purple color, a phenomenal bouquet of dried Provencal herbs, sweet black fruits, spring flowers, and scorched earth. Drink it over the next 12-15 years."
