Sansonnet has been on a hot streak over the last few years, producing strong efforts in both 2009 and 2010. Not surprisingly, they have hit pay dirt again with their 2011, a blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc. This dense purple-colored, impressively endowed wine reveals plenty of blue fruits along with a confiture of black cherries, medium to full body, sweet tannin and a long finish. Drink this serious sleeper of the vintage now and over the next 15+ years. - Robert M. Parker, Jr.
