- Ch La Roche St. Jean Bordeaux Rouge 2011 Product #26807 (In Stock)
-
-
A classic Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (60%) and Merlot (40%). This is a soft, fruit filled, take on Bordeaux that fills your mouth with juicy red currant and black berry fruit accented by a touch of spice. Subtle notes of fresh herb and tobacco keep this anchored in Bordeaux, and there’s just the enough ripe tannin to let it work well at table (but not enough to get in the way of solo sipping).

Nicely in the drinking window now with miles to go in cellar yet.
"This is a major sleeper of the vintage and the best wine I have ever tasted from La Cardonne, which is in the northern end of the Medoc, near the town of Blaignan. A blend of 50% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Cabernet Franc, this 2009 offers up notes of tobacco leaf, cassis, and loamy soil with underbrush nuances. With excellent texture, impressive purity, and medium to full body, this is a rich, over-achieving cru bourgeois to drink over the next decade."Wine Advocate 88 points
- Moulin D' Issan Bordeaux Superieur 2010 Product #27190 (In Stock)
-
-
From the famous Margaux estate Ch. d'Issan, this Bordeaux Superior from a nearby vineyard is a fantastic value in drink-me-now Bordeaux. A classic blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (70%) and Merlot, this ages for 16 months in 30% new French oak. In 2010, it's rock solid - chocolaty and round with generous red currant fruit. Notes of baking spice and tobacco add complexity and the tannins are soft and plush. Great with lamb or beef now and likely to improve for 3-5 years.
- Clos Du Roy Fronsac 2009 Product #26342 (In Stock)
-
-
Another great 2009 Bordeaux with plenty of stuffing but also loads of immediate appeal. Mainly Merlot here in Fronsac and just a touch of new oak. It's rich and creamy on the nose and palate with ripe red and black currant fruit, cedar, baking spice, and tobacco notes. A hint of bitter chocolate starts on the back and lingers on the long finish. Juicy and fresh in the middle with a dark, creamy, character at the end.
- Ch Tour Haut-Caussan Medoc 2010 Product #27279 (In Stock)

Very fine value in cellar worthy (but already delicious) Bordeaux!
"A brilliant sleeper of the vintage from this property, which often provides consumers with a value-priced wine that performs like a classified growth, the 2010 is an equal-part blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from the northern village of Blaignan. The 2010 comes across like a St. Estephe. Deep ruby/purple, with notes of charcoal/burning embers in addition to black currants, licorice, truffle and graphite, it is full-bodied, rich, authoritative and has light to moderate tannins. It should drink well for 10-12+ years."Wine Advocate 90 points
- Les Gartieux De Pichon Lalande Pauillac 2004 Product #26385 (In Stock)
-
-
Made only in larger cope years from younger vines at this "Super Second" Pauillac estate. The 2004 edition opens with classic Pauillac aromas of blackcurrant, tobacco and cedar that get stronger with air. Still young and powerful in the mouth, but mellows with air to show ripe, almost lush, fruit with accents of cigar, cedar and spice box. Rock solid and very good now and for another 5 or so years.
