winemaker's notes:

Number 30 on the Wine.com 100 of 2007!

This wine displays a sumptuous deep red color. Its intense, complex nose offers an array of fruits, from peach to raspberry and black currant, with a subtle touch of cinnamon. Ample structure and excellent balance will allow this wine to age in bottle quite gracefully.

Food and Wine Affinities: Coq au vin, red meats grilled or oven-roasted, game and distinctive cheese.

"Aged in 20% oak barrels, the 2005 Julienas Chateau des Capitans (an estate jointly owned by Duboeuf and his US importer, Bill Deutsch) boasts a profound nose of spicy black cherries. Medium-bodied, expansive, spicy, and pure, this well-focused wine sports a wonderfully sweet character crammed with red as well as black fruits. It is fruit-driven yet structured and should age well. Drink it over the next 7-8 years.
Barrel Tasting: 90-92 Points

  best wine I had last year - 2/19/2008
I would buy this wine again
Excellent nose and taste, and an unbeatable price made this easily my favorite wine I tried in 2007. Fruity but not too sweet, it paired great with steak, cheese, even pizza.

Had this wine as a chef's pairing with the veal chop at Lumiere Restaurant in Newton, MA. Was the highlight of an all-time excellent meal.

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.
Green wine

About Professional Ratings

These wine ratings are based on a 100-point quality scale, and are selected by each publication's unique criteria. Some wine ratings are expressed as ranges. When this occurs we will list the highest score in the range and note the full range within the tasting note.

While ratings may influence your decision, the ultimate judgment is your palate.
