Wine Details
Price:
$35.00 per bottle
Description:
In contrast to our other Right Bank wine, Bourriquot is more finely-textured, somewhat more elegant than the explosive flavors of the Merlot Reserve. The 2000 horse has the same fine chocolate of the Merlot, but this is Franc in spades (or horseshoes): the fine cedar of a cigar box, dusty roses, dried cherries. And the palate persistence is outstanding here, lingering with great inner-mouth perfume. This Bourriquot will age very well, given its engaging texture and depth of flavor, though it offers pleasure already.
Bourriquot is unique in California, a wine based on Cabernet Franc and Merlot that attempts to celebrate those grapes’ native character, not cover it over. And we continue to be proud that its price is far less than other wines in its class.
