James Suckling: "Very juicy and dense with a gorgeous center palate of ripe berries and cherries, full body and a soft and silky-textured finish." (92-93)

Robert Parker: "The 2018 La Serre is a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, it offers up seductive scents of baked blackberries, blueberry tart and warm plums with nuances of black raspberries, oolong tea and cloves plus a touch of mincemeat pie. The medium-bodied palate is soft and plush with background freshness supporting the berry preserves flavors, finishing with a peppery kick." (89-91)
