Retail Price: $15.00

Tasting Notes: Mostly merlot with a 10% dollop of cabernet franc to seduce the palate. Generous amounts of dark fruit emerge, exposing notes of blackberry, raspberries and plum, with a slight touch of cocoa powder on the long, steady finish. Soft tannins create a silky mouthfeel. A wonderfully seductive wine that way overdelivers for its price point.

Château Haut-Brion
Varietal: Bordeaux Red Blend
Vintage: 1953
Country of Origin: France
Appellation: Pessac-Leognan

Tasting Notes: Michael Broadbent, one the first Masters of Wine, declared the '53 Haut-Brion as one of his favorite wines of the 20th Century. Sixty-eight years after the harvest, the wine still shows outstanding power, with plenty of finesse as well. It still possesses dark fruit characteristics, with a spicy, meaty complexity. The finish was long, leaving echoes of its superb complexity and quality.(If you can find it.)

Chateau Ste. Michelle
Fanciful Name: Artist Series Red
Varietal: Red Bordeaux Bend
Vintage: 2018
Country of Origin: United States
Appellation: Columbia Valley
Retail Price: $65.00

Tasting Notes: A little more than two-thirds of the blend is cabernet sauvignon, with merlot comprising most of the remainder. Vintage conditions allowed for long and complete ripening of the grapes, allowing for a wine of power and elegance. The dark saturated fruit is balanced by good acidity, contributing to mouthfeel and food pairing. A great wine: drink it if you'd like, but aging will be generously rewarded
