2006 Montviel Bordeaux Blend
Bordeaux Blend: 750ml
Alex Shaw, JJ Buckley, March 2011
Black cherry and strawberry compote dominate the nose, framed by subtle undertones of forest floor and damp earth. Quite dense on the palate, this offers loads of dark red fruit and grippy tannins that provide the wine with excellent structure, and the fruit lingers through to a long, dry finish. Thanks to the bright acidity, this wine is still vibrant and should continue to evolve nicely for 5+ years.

Very pretty aromas of ripe fruit and tobacco, with just a hint of spices. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a juicy aftertaste of light toasty oak and berry. A tiny bit short. Best from 2011 through 2015. 1,665 cases made. -JS
