Price: $14.83
Quantity in Basket: none

100% MERLOT. While in France, I have been drinking this great value delicious Bordeaux for several years as sort of an everyday Red Bordeaux dinner wine. All vintages have been excellent, but when I tasted the 2009, I decided that we had to bring it in sell in the VI market - (too good to keep it a secret). This Bordeaux is from what I'm deciding is the best vintage of the decade, 2009. A MUST TRY!

Price: $26.00
Quantity in Basket: none

50% Merlot, 50% Cabernet Sauvignon. This is the 2nd wine of the Famous Chateau de France. (Sold above). At a recent tasting, I found it a very close mark to the Chateau de France, Oaky, Tannic, and full bodied, this is an excellent Bordeaux in a moderate price range. Best decanted for two to three hours before serving to bring out the full bodied Graves character. Goes great with Duck, and all red meats. A little young, but ready to drink or put aside for years to come. This wine will age beautifully. As this is a younger Graves, longer breathing time of 2 to 3 hours makes this a great "drink now" Bordeaux.

SAINT ESTEPHE AOC - PRIEUR DE MENEY 2005
Code: ZBXR-PDMSE05
Price: $37.28
Quantity in Basket: none

Prieur de Meyney is the second wine from Château Meyney, which was known in the 18th century as Prieuré des Couleys. Made with the same care as the first wine, and using a similar blend, it comes from the younger vines on the estate. These have an average age of 15/20 years. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc & Petit Verdot grapes are used in this blend. Since its creation with the 1979 vintage, the team has had time to refine this wine that owes a lot to its senior partner: intense aromas on the nose, with deep fruit flavors that show the ripeness of the grapes. It is an elegant and supple Saint Estephe, more forward than its big brother, yet built to pass the test of time. 2005 Was a great year for Bordeaux. This wine will keep for 25 or more years if properly stored.

Great to drink now or will keep for 20-30 years.

Code: ZBXR-PGPDPAU07
Price: $39.50
Quantity in Basket: none

Second wine to Chateau Grand Puy Ducasse. Cabernet Sauvignon- Merlot blend. A great buy as this "2nd" wine of the Chateau. In a blind tasting I found this to be almost a perfect match to the Grand Chateau at about 1/3 of the price. The 2007 vintage is ready to drink now. Delicious full bodied Bordeaux in the tradition of great Pauillacs. The name "Prélude" states the ambition of this second wine: provide a true introduction to the "Grand Vin". It is made from the young vines on the estate and is aged for a shorter period (16 to 18 months) than the first wine, yet receives the same care at every stage. This ensures that it is more supple and forward than its senior, while showing the same qualities of elegance and harmony.
