Milbrandt Vineyards - Traditions Merlot 2008

Château Fougères des Montesquieu - "La Folie" Red 2006
Château des Trois Origines - Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 2009 (750 ML)
Château des Trois Origines - Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 2009 (750 ML)
Our Price: $39.00

Dark ruby-red with perfumed aromas of black cherry, licorice and a touch of smoke. Fruit-driven, with juicy liqueur flavors and serious depth for a Saint-Émilion wine without the Grand Cru designation. There are notes of cigar box and pomegranate throughout, with a touch of earthy coco. The finish exhibits broad flavors whose tannins are soft and expressive. This wine will stand-up to full flavored foods such as beef, short ribs, or stews. The soft tannin will provide appeal to a broad range of palates, and the wine and color cling to the glass. Drinking great now after a decanting and should easily last another 7-10 years. 300 Cases produced.

Also available in 1.5L Magnum
Château Rol Valentin - St. Emilion Grand Cru 2006
Château Rol Valentin - St. Emilion Grand Cru 2006
Our Price: $55.00

The 2006 Rol Valentin requires patience. I suspect that for the next 12-24 months the wine will taste like a very young Bordeaux when the bottle is first opened: some oak, loads of tannin and just a little fruit. However, after 2-4 hours in the decanter (translate to 3-5 years in the cellar) the game is changed. The nose becomes inviting with notes of berry, cigar and spice. The mid-palate is deep and complex. The flavors of the bouquet are augmented by a mineral component that speak to the quality of much heralded vineyard. The finish is long and gripping with tannin, spice and seriousness that one expects from a top right bank producer. Serve with an elegant full flavored beef dish as the wine can stand up to significant richness. 2,000 cases produced and will cellar well for 15+ years without worry.
Château Rol Valentin - St. Emilion Grand Cru 2008 (750 ML)
Our Price: $57.00

From Wine Spectator
Dense, chunky, and muscular, but not revealing much delineation, precision, or character, I suspect this wine is just finishing malolactic. A blend of 92% Merlot and 8% Cabernet Franc made from low yields of 28 hectoliters per hectare, it is a full-bodied, but rustic, disjointed effort.
Château Rol Valentin - St. Emilion Grand Cru 2007
Château Rol Valentin - St. Emilion Grand Cru 2007
Our Price: $57.00

Like the 2006, the 2007 Rol Valentin requires patience. I suspect that for the next 12-24 months the wine will taste like a very young Bordeaux when the bottle is first opened: some oak, loads of tannin and just a little fruit. However, after 2-4 hours in the decanter (translate to 3-5 years in the cellar) the game is changed. The nose becomes inviting with notes of berry, cigar and spice.

Chateau Faugères - St. Emilion Grand Cru 2000
Our Price: $60.00

Chateau Faugères - St. Emilion Grand Cru 2000
Domaine de L'A - Côtes de Castillon 2008 (1.5 L)
Domaine de l'A - CĂ´tes de Castillon 2008 (1.5 L)
Our Price: $98.00

This fresh, focused, medium-bodied red is supple and polished, with black cherry and currant fruit. The toasty oak is well-integrated in this harmonious wine, as are the light, firm tannins. Serve with lean cuts of beef, pasta, or roasted pork. Drink now after a decanting or cellar through 2016.

Note: This is a 1.5L Magnum
