winemaker's notes:

Number 85 on the Wine.com 100 of 2007!

A rich, opulent blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot with just a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon. The ornate sundials which adorn the facade of Lassègue, a beautiful 17th century Château, are symbols of the perfect sun exposure of their vineyard. Classic Bordeaux aromas and flavors of cassis, black chocolate, and cigar box create a very elegant and complex wine. From a warm, ripe vintage, it will age beautifully for 10+ years, although it's absolutely delicious right now.

  Beautiful wine - 8/11/2008
I would buy this wine again

This wine is complex with deep fruit and tobacco notes. it has medium to high tannin, but very smooth and well rounded tannin. first sniff is must and then a wet slate aroma as if it were pulled from a stream. this is not for the novice drinker. this is also not to decant unless you have the proper decanter for this type of wine.

 I would not buy this wine again

had this bottle with roasted chicken. It was OK. That's it. Decanted for two hours prior to drinking and served at approx 65 degrees. For the money, there are far better options.

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.

Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
