Reviews and Ratings

Heather Wall - CS; WSET Advanced rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

This is an elegant wine of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc from the left bank of Bordeaux in AC Pessac-Leognan. Red fruit dominates with baking spices, floral, cedar, dusty cellar and earthiness. The tannins are youthful and acidity a pleasing medium+. The length is long on a fruit driven finish. Great value Bordeaux at $40. Drinking nicely now with potential to age 7-10 years. Makes a great hostess gift. Fine cuts of beef would be a nice match for this medium weight wine.
Tasted: March 2015
This full-bodied French red wine is a joint effort by Baron Philippe de Rothschild and Robert Mondavi. Great cellar wine. - Community Wine Reviews
