Bordeaux Rouge
This exceptional wine is part of our Fine Wine Collection.
Winemaking When styling this wine, we set our sights on Bordeaux’s Right Bank. This blend leans on Merlot—accounting for 70 percent of the grapes in this bottle—for its signature plumminess and soft mouthfeel, while Cabernet Sauvignon provides a robust tannic backbone. We waited to blend until after fermentation, allowing each variety time with its skins to enhance its unique varietal expression before bringing everything together with oak for a wine that is a pinnacle of its revered style.
Vintage The 2020 growing season began with a medley of warm, temperate days and scattered storms.

WINE REGION:
Bordeaux AOP
Probably the world's most famous wine region, Bordeaux is a true powerhouse of French quality. While Bordeaux is home to some of the country's most expensive bottles, it is also possible to find great-value wines from small producers. Almost all red and white wines from Bordeaux are blends. Reds tend to be a mix of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. But just as important as the blends are the quality of the region's terroir and unique winemaking techniques. The Bordeaux region is divided by the Gironde River into two main parts. Cabernet Sauvignon reigns supreme on the the Left Bank, while Merlot dominates the Right Bank. White wines are usually a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. The AOP (Appellation d'Origine Protégée) classification for French wine relates to wine being from a specific region that is significantly regulated. The regions are both large and small, each with its own set of rules for permitted varietals, production standards and quality control cues.

TASTING NOTES:
Violet
Plum
Baking Spice
Enticing aromas of clove and cedar lead to a full-bodied, dry palate featuring subtle acidity and a strong tannic backbone. In classic Old World styling, ripe blackberry and plum flavors give way to savory olive tapenade and earth.
