The 2016 vintage features a blend of 60% Merlot, 37% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 3% Cabernet Franc. The vintage is beautiful and will keep for 10-15 years or so.

Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, Château La Tour Carnet 2016 has an earthy nose with tobacco and underbrush over a core of warm plums, kirsch and tea. The medium-bodied palate is refreshing, elegant, juicy and soft with a savory finish.
