"The 2016 Simard is bold, juicy and delicious. Sweet tobacco, leather, cedar, smoke and dried herbs add lovely aromatic nuance to this expressive, mid-weight Saint-Émilion. Deep and fleshy, the 2016 will drink well right out of the gate." -Antonio Galloni

"The 2016 Simard is blended of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc. Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, it rocks up with open-knit notions of kirsch, black cherries and blackberries with touches of cloves, tobacco leaf and menthol. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is elegant, bright and refreshing with a lovely line, velvety tannins and a long fruity finish." -Lisa Perrotti-Brown

"This juicy, soft wine with lots of acidity and bright black-currant flavors is made for early drinking. Soft tannins are cushioned by fruitiness. Drink this fresh wine from 2021." -Roger Voss
