  "Lightly reductive with a floral touch to the ripe but fresh fruit and a touch of white pepper. Quite refined. Nicely chewy with medium to full body and a compact finish of good length. Needs some time in bottle. Drink from 2027."

  "The second wine of Canon, the 2022 Croix Canon is based on 59% Cabernet Franc and 41% Merlot that spent 16-18 months in 30% new French oak. Its deep ruby/purple hue is followed by a beautiful, medium to full-bodied Saint-Emilion that has a beautiful core of ripe black cherry fruit as well as classic notes of lead pencil, crushed stone, and graphite. It's ripe and balanced and has great mid-palate and sweet tannins. Don't let its accessibility fool you; this will cruise for two decades and is better than most Grand Vins out there."

  The Wine Advocate
  "The 2022 Croix Canon has turned out beautifully, mingling aromas of dark berries and cherries with hints of orange rind and petals. Medium to full-bodied, succulent and seamless, with a rich core of fruit, lively acids and a long, aromatic finish, it will offer a broad drinking window. As I've written before, recent vintages of this cuvée have confirmed its status as one of Bordeaux's finest second labels (though since it derives from dedicated holdings below Berliquet, it's not a "second wine" in the strict sense)."

  The Wine Cellar Insider
  "You encounter flowers with a strong burst of mint before being greeted by cherries and sea salt aromas. The palate is medium-bodied, fresh, and brimming with vibrant, sweet cherries. The fruits are clean, pure, and elegant, finishing with a refreshing hint of mint. The year 2022 signifies a change here. Notably, for the first time, the blend comprises a majority of Cabernet Franc, with 59% Cabernet Franc and 41% Merlot. Drink from 2025-2040."
