Most consumers outside of Bordeaux are probably far more familiar with the brilliant white wine made here than their red but this is an elegant Burgundian-styled red that could pass for a grand cru from the Cotes de Beaune. Sweet and sour cherry notes intermixed with notions of new saddle leather burning embers and tobacco leaf emerge from the complex aromatics. This dark ruby/purple-tinged medium-bodied 2006 is not a blockbuster but a wine of considerable grace finesse and elegance. Drink it over the next 12-15+ years.
