Therianthropy Le Maillot 2022
Therianthropy Le Maillot Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc 2022 ($28, 92 points) — A blend of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon and 21% Cabernet Franc sourced from the WW Vineyard and Bock Vineyard. 60% of the fruit was whole cluster fermented followed by a five-day cold soak and 22 days of primary fermentation with six days on the skins and 17 days off the skins. It was aged in a concrete egg for six months on its lees with no stirring. I’m intrigued by this label of the half-deer, half woman gently resting her head against a giant cork on beach in Vancouver with a bottle of Maillot by her side. It portrays this chill, glou-glou blend perfectly. The full carbonic maceration treatment brings out the fruity, pretty nose of bright raspberries, tart cherries and crunchy pomegranate with subtle herbs, and earthiness. It’s silky smooth on the palate with bright red berries, anise, fennel, thyme, and savoury herbs on a juicy, lifted finish. Serve with a slight chill for maximum impact.
