The Region. Bordeaux is the world’s most famous wine region ­— its rich, barrel-aged reds take pride of place in the cellars of wine lovers worldwide.

The Vintage. "2008 turned out excellent, with a number of wines close to, if not equal to the prodigious 2005 or 2000 vintages (two years with many of the best wines I have ever tasted)." Robert Parker

The Château. A tiny estate run by the Jaubert family. Their 2008 (a classic Cab-Merlot) was aged in fine French oak, and released to huge acclaim ...

The Golds. First in Paris, at France's top wine show, the Concours Générale Agricole. Then gold in LA at the International Wine & Spirits Competition. Impressive!

Beautiful deep ruby color. Ripe black fruit nose — hints of vanilla and clove. Rich and round with a long, smooth black currant finish. Enjoy with grilled steaks or garlic-roasted lamb. 13% Vol. Enjoy to 2013.
