Green’s has provided relief for the post-holiday “credit card blues” with our “Great Values for $10 or Less” selection for the past 21 years. We know how it important it is, particularly in today’s economic climate, to stretch every dollar. The trick is to sort through the mediocre, and yes, down right bad wines, to find those diamonds in the rough that are, for whatever reason, under priced.
The Green’s tasting team spent the past four months sampling through hundreds of wines to find the highest quality possible for $9.99 or less. Find we did, and from all over the world including: Washington State, Spain, Argentina California, Portugal, France, Australia, New Zealand, Italy, and South Africa. All have been taste-tested and meet the Green’s standard for exceptional quality in their price
range.
We invite you to come to one of our 2 stores and partake of Georgia’s best wine values. No other wine store in Atlanta goes to this much work to save you
money. In addition to these great prices, you can take an additional 10% Case Discount (mixed or solid). Unless otherwise noted, all reviews are written all reviews are written
by myself.

RED WINES
Stone Cap Cabernet Sauvignon
Columbia Valley 2009
Green’s Cash Sale Price: $7.99
It has increasingly become apparent to me that you can find the best value Cabernet Sauvignon from Washington State’s Columbia Valley, not from California.
This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon is made with estate-grown grapes sourced from Goose Ridge Vineyard. That’s right, single-vineyard Cabernet from one of the world’s great areas for this grape variety priced at $7.99!
Mild spicy oak bouquet, it has a soft rich chocolaty smooth fruit flavor in the entry and mid-palate. Good lengthy finish. Amazing for the price! Castillo de Monseran
|

Garnacha Carinena 2009
Green’s Cash Sale
Price: $7.99
From the Carinena area of Aragon in Spain, this 100% Garnacha possesses a red cherry and spice nose and peppery red fruit flavor. Very soft and delicious for current drinking.

Clifford Bay Pinot Noir
Marlborough 2009
Green’s Cash Sale Price: $8.49
This is flat out the best Pinot Noir I have tasted for under $10! “…good intensity of spicy, black cherry and raspberry aromas with distinguishable scents of cloves and black pepper. Medium bodied, crisp with low to medium level of fine grained tannins, there’s a good concentration of ripe berry fruit in the mouth and a long finish… 88 points.” - The Wine Advocate
|
 |
|
Vidigal Dao 2005
(From Portugal)
Green’s Cash Sale Price: $8.99

Riebeek Pinotage
Swartland Collection 2010
Green’s Cash Sale Price: $9.99
From South Africa, this is a fine Pinotage at a great price too. A light style, sort of a theoretical blend of Pinot Noir and Gamay in character, there is plum, cherry, and spice on the palate and bouquet. Serve slightly cool, around 60F-62F.
|
|
Henry’s Drive
Pillar Box Red 2008

“…66% shiraz, 25% cabernet sauvignon and 9% merlot) Glass-staining ruby. Ripe blueberry and boysenberry aromas, with a smoky undertone. Round, jammy black and blue fruit flavors stay just this side of candied and show no rough edges… 87 points.” - International Wine Cellar

Cave Roquebrun Terrasses de Mouline
St. Chinian 2009
Green’s Cash Sale Price: $9.99
From the south of France, this wine is made by the La Cave de Roquebrun, in the village of Roquebrun. Located between the two regional capitals of Montpellier and Toulouse, their vineyards are spread over an area of 500ha (approximately 1200 acres) of south facing hillsides perfect for the production of fine wine.
A blend of 40% Syrah, 30% Grenache, 10% Mourvedre, and 20% Carignan, it possesses a lavender and spice bouquet. On the palate it shows rich soft black fruit; quite flavorful.
|
|
Pennywise Cabernet Sauvignon
California 2009

As the name implies, this is a heck of a Cabernet value. Coconut and cassis
aromatics, the wine is soft with a delicious currant fruit flavor.
|
 |
|
Pennywise Petite Sirah
California 2009
Green’s Cash Sale Price: $9.99
“A sound everyday wine. For a decent price, you get a full-bodied, dry Petite Sirah, with plenty of berry jam and spice flavor - The Wine Enthusiast
|
 |
|
Red Head Studios Yard Dog Red 2009
Green’s Cash Sale Price: $9.99
Think of this as a Meritage, but from the McLaren Vale district of Australia. Made from classic Bordeaux varietals, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot, it has a cassis-like bouquet combined with a rich dark fruit entry on the palate.
|
 |
|
Louis Bernard
Cotes du Rhone 2009

“Soft and open, with plum and black cherry fruit kissed with a hint of toasty vanilla.” - The Wine Spectator
|
 |
|
WHITE WINES
Domaine L’Enclos Colombard/Ugni Blanc 2010
Green’s Cash Sale price: $7.99
A blend of Colombard and Ugni Blanc, it has an attractive floral, white fruit, and herb aroma, with fresh fruit and acidity on the palate, this lively dry white wine is a delightful quaff alone, or with mild fish and chicken dishes. It’s also very easy on the budget at $7.99!
|
 |
|
Bodegas Castano
Macabeo/Chardonnay 2010, Yecla
Green’s Cash Price: $9.99
This blend of 60% Macabeo and 40% Chardonnay is light gold in color with banana and apple aromas on the nose. The palate reveals a hint of
tropical fruit from the ripe barrel-fermented Chardonnay which balances the crisp,
refreshing character of the zesty Macabeo.
|
 |
|
Dry Creek Fume Blanc
Sonoma Co. 2010
Green’s Cash Sale Price: $9.99
“The basic 2010 Fume Blanc (100 percent Sauvignon) is a classic, exhibiting intense aromas of lemongrass and dried herbs, passionfruit and grapefruit, with exquisite balance…90 points.” - winereviewonline.com
|
 |
|
White Knight
Viognier Clarksburg 2010
Green’s Cash Sale Price: $9.99
Surrounded by the cooling waterways of the Sacramento River Delta and San Francisco Bay, the Clarksburg Winegrowing Appellation is fast earning a reputation for growing lovely Viognier grapes. Pear, floral and melon aromas, this mediumbodied, refreshing dry white wine is just the ticket for chicken and fish dishes.
|
 |
|
Chateau Briot
Bordeaux Blanc Reserve 2010
Green’s Cash Sale Price: $9.99
For a $9.99 wine, there is a lot to talk about here. Chateaubottled, this wine originates from the Entre-Deux-Mers district in Bordeaux, well respected
for its white wines. A blend of 85% Sauvignon Blanc and 15% Semillon, there is no oak aging performed on this wine which preserves its fresh fruit character. Green onion and white fruit in the aroma, this fresh, zesty dry white wine is medium-bodied, with flavors of apples and herbs. Lively and refreshing finish.
|
 |
|
Cartlidge & Brown
Chardonnay North Coast 2010
Green’s Cash Sale Price: $9.99
56% sourced from Suisun Valley, an area just east of Napa, 40% Russian River Valley fruit, and 4% from the Sonoma County half of Carneros, these are “high cotton” districts for a $9.99 bottle of wine. We agree with Robert Parker’s assessment of Cartlidge & Brown: “The question that begs to be answered is why so many producers ignore what Cartlidge and Browne does better than just about anybody else in the state —produce fruit forward, pure, varietally correct, delicious wines.”
|
 |
|
l’Auriere Muscadet Sèvre &
Maine sur Lie 2010
Green’s Cash Price: $9.99
Along with Vouvray, Muscadet is one of the few Loire Valley wines that one can readily find in the U.S. Let me explain the nomenclature on the label. “Sevre et Maine” is the best wine producing area, taking its name from the two rivers which define the district. “Sur Lie” indicates that the wine has been left
on its lees for up to 6 months, over the winter, to give the wines extra body and complexity. Crisp and dry, a perfect choice for shellfish or fish. Great aperiff too.
|
 |
|
Coppola Unoaked
Chardonnay California 2009
Green’s Cash Sale Price: $8.99
Apple and mild butterscotch aromas, this wine exudes fresh fruit on the palate with a nuance of nutmeg. Plenty of character and complexity for a wine in this low price category, its delicious!
|
|
Pine Ridge Chenin Blanc
Viognier California 2010
Green’s Cash Sale Price: $9.99
“This remarkable cuvee has been a great value for thrifty consumers for a number of years…Chenin Blanc- Viognier (79% of the former and 21% of the latter) sells for a preposterously low price…Wonderfully crisp, elegant, fresh honeydew melon, spring flower, white peach and honeysuckle aromas soar from the glass of this zesty, dry, medium-bodied white wine. The melon character follows through on the palate of this pure, delicious, screw cap, finished effort…90 points.” - Robert Parker
|
|
Joel Gott Sauvignon Blanc California 2010
Green’s Cash Sale Price: $9.99
“Wonderfully focused and fresh, with lime zest, lemongrass, passion fruit, and lemon notes that show laserlike focus. Long, juicy finish. Drink now…89 points.” - The Wine Spectator
|
 |
|
Haut Poitou Sauvignon Blanc 2010
Green’s Cash Price: $9.99
Bell pepper and gooseberry aromatics, this Sauvignon Blanc is rich and broad with fruit and herb flavors not unlike those from New Zealand. Balanced with refreshing acidity, this is an excellent value!

We have trumpeted the glorious quality of the 2009 vintage Bordeaux and southern Rhone wines to you over the last 1 1/2 years. It was a spectacular vintage for both areas. Waiting in the wings, and now arriving, are the superb 2009 red Burgundies. They are every bit as high in quality as their other compatriots from France. 2009 also gives one the rare opportunity to drink good red Burgundy “on the cheap”, as the lower and mid-level appellations have performed spectacularly. We have concentrated our offerings in these areas. However, we have salted in several prestigious Premier Crus as well.
The critics agree:
“The sweet spot in 2009 is at the entry level, where a great number of wines outperform
their humble pedigrees … Readers will find no shortage of absolutely delicious Bourgognes in 2009 that won’t break the bank.” - The Wine Advocate
“An excellent, and very consistent, vintage of opulence, charm and seduction.” - Burghound.com

From Louis Jadot 2009
“…(of Louis Jadot) I really love the energy yet the are clearly quite powerful. Despite their power and\ ripeness levels though, they are actually quite elegant as are not at all heavy or thick. They remind me quite a the ‘59s, which is obviously a high compliment.”
- Burghound.com |
Louis Jadot
Gevrey Chamberin 2009
Green’s Cash Sale Price: $49.99
“The 2009 Gevrey- Chambertin is the best of the village-level wines. It shows tons of Gevrey character in a sweet, perfumed style I find irresistible, with gorgeous length and fine overall balance. The level of quality is admirable…” - The Wine Advocat
|
 |
|
Louis Jadot
Nuits St. Georges 2009
Green’s Cash Sale Price: $49.99
“The expressive nose blends both upper and lower register red berry fruit and warm earth aromas that include hints of the sauvage and humus, both of which can also be found on the appealingly intense and well-detailed medium-bodied flavors that are supported by moderately rustic structure and good length. This is a classic Nuits with a robust mouth feel…” - Burghound.com
|
 |
Louis Jadot
Savigny-les-Beaune
1er Cru Clos Des Guettes 2009
Green’s Cash Sale Price: $33.99
Ripe dark cherries on the bouquet, on the palate the wine displays ripe black cherry fruit concentration and is fairly smooth, even at this early stage. Mild tannins in the finish, this wine can be enjoyed now, though it will improve over the next 2-3 years. “A great value, I tasted this from cask just before bottling.”
- Michael Bishop, Green’s Wine Buyer

Louis Jadot
Beaune Clos des Ursules
1er Cru 2009
Green’s Cash Sale Price: $59.99
(Available at Buford Highway location only)
“…another terrific effort. Nothing in particular stands out, just the wine’s fabulous overall balance. A seamless, beautifully integrated red, the 2009 Clos des Ursules flows across the palate with layers of textured fruit. Silky tannins frame an exceptionally elegant and polished finish…90-92 points.” - The Wine Advocate
|
 |
Louis Jadot
Beaune Boucherottes 1er Cru 2009
Green’s Cash Sale Price: $42.99
“The 2009 Beaune Boucherottes (on the border with Pommard) shows gorgeous vibrancy in its dark wild berries, violets and sweet spices. The aromas and flavors literally explode on the mid-palate. A big, broad-shouldered wine… impresses for its powerful, authoritative personality and superb balance. Sweet, balsamic nuances linger on the textured finish…90-93 points.” - The Wine Advocate
|
 |
Domaine Mongeard-Mugneret
“Overall, I really like the quality of the ‘09s because not only are they excellent but there is a tenderness to the wines that makes them very appealing.”
- Vincent Mongeard |
Mongeard-Mugneret Savigny-les-
Beaune Narbantons 1er Cru 2009
Green’s Cash Sale Price: $37.99
“…aromatic refinement with a broader and more complex range of red currant, blue pinot and earth undertones that can also be found on the rich, supple and very generous medium-bodied flavors that possess good levels of dry extract, all wrapped in a nicely powerful and focused finish…88-91 points.” - Burghound.com
|
 |
Chateau de Chorey
Chorey-les-Beaune 2009
Green’s Cash Sale Price: $29.99
The wines from this little known appellation are sourced from an area situated tantalizingly close to the slope of the famous Grand Cru vineyard Corton. Chorey-les-Beaune is located in a cooler microclimate, however, which means it takes a warm harvest to produce good wine. 2009 is one of those vintages.
Made by Chateau de Chorey, a beautiful 13th century castle located within the appellation, the wine has a beautiful dark cherry bouquet and pure round red fruit flavor with a hint of spice. I suppose it will age an additional 3-4 years, but who cares, its absolutely delicious now. - Michael Bishop
|
 |
Domaine Jean-Jacques Girard
“Jean-Jacques Girard describes 2009 as a “relatively easy vintage without too much drama during the growing season. We began picking on the 10th of September and brought in essentially perfect fruit that required virtually no sorting of any consequence.”
- Burghound.com |
Jean-Jacques Girard
Savigny-les-Beaune
Les Peuillets 1er Cru 2009
Green’s Cash Sale Price: $32.99
“…highly perfumed with pure and lilting aromas of ripe red berries that carry nuances of cassis and plum over to the suave and almost silky medium-bodied flavors that evidence mineral hints on the balanced, refined and lingering finish. This is a wine of finesse…91 points.” - Burghound.com
(Available at Buford Highway location only)
|
Jean-Jacques Girard
Savigny-les-Beaune Les Laviers
1er Cru 2009
Green’s Cash Sale Price: $34.99
“…most complex with a superb nose of blue berry liqueur, spiced plum and stone. The very ripe yet fresh flavors are at once energetic and seductive, all wrapped in a firm, minerally and beautifully well-balanced finish. Lovely juice…92 points.”
- Burghound.com
|
Jean-Jacques Girard
Beaune Clos du Roi 1er Cru 2009
Green’s Cash Sale Price: $36.99
“An expressive and airy nose of fruit-like perfume leads to ripe, fresh and delicious flavors that display real verve on the fleshy and generous flavors that are very Beaune in character while culminating in an admirably long finish. This is really quite good with enough upside potential to merit 6 to 8 years of cellar time…90 points.” - Burghound.com

Maison Pascal Marchand
Pascal Marchand, formerly of Domaine Comte Armand and Domaine de la Vougeraie...has founded his own négociant operation and is now producing reds and whites that he both vinifies as well as purchases… I was impressed by what I tasted…”

Pascal Marchand Bourgogne
Rouge Cuvee Avalon 2009
Green’s Cash Sale Price: $25.99
This is the most amazing “Bourgogne Rouge” I have ever tasted. Not sourced from the generic “hinterlands” of Burgundy as so many of these wines are that wear this modest title, Pascal declassified leftover bits of St. Romain, Auxey-Duresses, Monthelie, Chassagne Montrachet village and 1er Cru Boudriottes, Cotes de Nuits Villages and Morey St. Denis, blended them all together, and created a cuvee named “Avalon Bourgogne Rouge.”
I had the luck to taste this in February 2010, just before bottling, and was absolutely blown away. Soft round dark fruit flavors, with a hint of chocolate in the aftertaste, the wine offers remarkable Burgundian character and complexity for a wine in its class. Drinks well now, though I think it will continue to develop for a couple of more years. - Michael Bishop, Green’s Wine Buyer
|
 |
Pascal Marchand Morey
St. Denis Clos des Ormes 2009
Green’s Cash Sale Price: $55.99
“This too is very floral with a highly expressive nose thatspeaks of freshly crushed wild red berries and iron-infused earth notes. The delicious but restrained middle weight flavors brim with dry extract on the lightly mineral-infused finish that delivers both very good depth and excellent length…89-92 points.”
- Burghound.com

Burghound.com rated this as, “Outstanding Top Value”
Pascal Marchand Gevrey
Chambertin 2009
Green’s Cash Sale Price: $49.99
“…there is good richness and volume to the generous medium-bodied flavors blessed with a healthy amountof dry extract that buffers the moderately oaked, long and velvety finish…87-90 points.”
- Burghound.com
|
Pascal Marchand
Nuits St. Georges Les Damodes
1er Cru 2009
Green’s Cash Sale Price: $79.99
“An extremely fresh nose offers up floral-infused notes of red currant and plum as well as mineral and earth nuances, both of which are reflected by the intense, serious and animated medium-weight plus flavors that culminate in a complex and long finish…This should be excellent if given enough time as there is very fine balance…90-92 points. “ - Burghound.com
|
Latour Marsannay 2009
Green’s Cash Sale Price: $16.99
“I tasted a number of terrific wines from some of Burgundy’s less well-known
appellations this year. Best of all, these bottles should be available at fairly reasonable prices. Readers will find no shortage of absolutely delicious Bourgognes in 2009 that won’t break the bank. I was also quite taken with the many terrific Marsannays I encountered. One grower mentioned that 2009 was the best vintage for Marsannay since 1990…the simple fact is that Marsannay is one of the most exciting villages in 2009. Marsannay, which sits at the top of the Côte de Nuits, is favored with a cool climate that naturally balances the vintage’s tendency towards ripe, voluminous wines. - The Wine Advocate

Vintage 2009 was as successful in Bordeaux as it was in Burgundy. One of the same observations hold true for both areas: you can find excellent wine at what are normally entry or medium quality levels. Cru Bourgeois that tastes as good as Grand Cru? Yes. Petit chateaux that reminds one of Bordeaux that
normally costs 2-3 times as much. Absolutely!
I give wine maven support below:
“I hope readers will take a serious look at many of the less prestigious appellations and wines from those areas as they will no doubt represent fabulous bargains in 2009. Given the overall style of the 2009s, which combine creamy, voluptuous textures and sensational fruit-driven opulence with remarkable finesse, precision, purity, and vibrancy, the best of the “little” wines will be delicious young, as will many of the classified-growths. This is a magical vintage!” - Robert Parker

(10% Case Discount-Mixed or Solid)
Medoc & Haut Medoc
Chat. Poitevin Medoc
Cru Bourgeois 2009
Green’s Cash Sale Price: $12.99
“The Poitevin 2009 has good fruit intensity and definition on the nose with ripe blackcurrant, bilberry and cedar. The palate is mediumbodied… with some nice savoury notes
towards the finish. Fine.”-Wine Advocate.com |
Chat. Hautrive
Medoc Cru Bourgeois 2009
Green’s Cash Sale Price: $12.99
This blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot, hails from a appellation located a mere 7 km. from the famous vineyards of St. Estephe. Cassis bouquet, the wine has a soft rich fruit entry on the palate. Coffee and cassis notes on the mid-palate, the wine possesses mild hints of tannin in the finish yet remains a delight for current drinking due to its supple fruit.
- Green’s Wine Buyer
|
Chat. Barthez
Haut Medoc 2009
Green’s Cash Sale Price: $15.99
This wine displays a lot of complexity for its modest $15.99 price tag!
A blend of 47% Merlot, 36% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot, and 2% Carmenere, one gets a gamey, tobacco, cassis bouquet. Really soft and pleasurable entry, there is a lot of fruit concentration on the palate and mild tannins in the aftertaste. Delicious today, though it will easily hold 3 more years.
- Green’s Wine Buyer
|
 |
Chat. Lilian Ladouys
St. Estephe 2009
Green’s Cash Sale Price: $24.99
“Tasted at the Cru Bourgeois 2009 tasting in London. The 2009 has very fine lift on the floral, almost Margaux-like bouquet with vivacious red cherries and wild strawberry. Good definition here. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and an almost Burgundian texture. Very polished and focused, perhaps showing a little too much oak towards the finish, but certainly one of this estate’s best wines in recent years…90 points.” - Wine Advocate.com |
Chat. La Tour St. Bonnet
Medoc Cru Bourgeois 2009
Green’s Cash Sale Price: $16.99
“This has been one of the most reliable wines in Bordeaux over
the last 30+ years, and I have enjoyed many vintages of it. It sells for a song, and the 2009 may turn out to be the best they have ever made. This inky purplecolored wine offers up notes of creme de cassis, spring flowers, and forest floor that seem to have more in common with a classified growth than a petite chateau. Medium-bodied, luscious, and rich, this is a beauty to drink over the next 10 years…88-90 points.” - Robert Parker
|
 |
Chat. Caronne Ste. Gemme
Haut Medoc Cru Bourgeois 2009
Green’s Cash Sale Price: $19.99
“…has one of those understated noses with notes of blackberry, cedar and tar – quite complex and cerebral. The palate is mediumbodied with a masculine veneer, quite rombustious and fortright with a sturdy finish that suggest it needs 3-4 years in bottle. Good depth…” - Wine Advocate.com
Rated 89-92 points by The Wine Spectator |
 |
Chat. Cambon La Pelouse Haut
Medoc Cru Bourgeois 2009
Green’s Cash Sale Price: $21.99
“Pretty aromas of currant and berries, with a mineral undertone. Medium-bodied, with firm tannins and a fruity finish. Nice wood under it all. Well-crafted young red. Could be best ever from here. Score range: 88-91 points.” - The Wine Spectator
|
 |
Graves Chat. Seguin
Pessac/Leognan 2009
Green’s Cash Sale Price: $31.99
“The best wine ever produced at this estate…53% Cabernet Sauvignon and 47% Merlot blend bursts with kirsch, black currants, camphor, and tobacco aromas and flavors. Very opulent, this seductive, lush, concentrated wine is a classic as well as a great sleeper of the vintage…91-93 points.” - Robert Parker
|
Chat. Piochet
Bordeaux Rouge 2009
Green’s Cash Sale Price: $9.99
Typical of the wines produced at this estate, which is run with passionate dedication by Bernardette Faugère, the 2009 is exceptional in every way. A beguiling nose displaying a whole spectrum of fruits from blackcurrant to blackberry, it also displays a floral touch and a smooth, creamy palate. Delicious “everyday” drinking wine! |
 |
Chat. Robin
Lussac-St.Emilion 2009
Green’s Cash Sale Price: $12.99
Still in the first flush of youth, the bouquet offers up a generous array of red fruits, blackcurrant, blackberry and cherry. The silky, supple flavor from the Merlot is discernible right from the succulent entry, with a smoothness that provides instantaneous charm.
|
 |
Chat. Lagrave Aubert
Castillon Cotes de Bordeaux 2009
Green’s Cash Sale Price: $14.99
This wine benefits from the expertise of the Aubert family, whose crowning glory is Chateau Lacouspaude Saint Emilion Grande Cru Classe. Chat. Lagrave-Aubert is adjacent to Saint Emilion in Cotes de Castillon and therefore enjoys many of the same flavor characteristics of its more famous sibling. This exceptional vintage is a blend of 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon which gives it a velvety texture. A boatload of ripe cherry flavors infused with nuances of dark plums, raspberries, exotic spices and earthy notes.
|
 |
Chat. Dubraud Blaye
Cotes de Bordeaux 2009
Green’s Cash Sale Price: $12.99
A blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, this is a fine representative of this blockbuster vintage. Lots of blue and black berry fruit in the bouquet and palate. - Green’s Wine Buyer

Chat. Vieille Tour La Rose
St. Emilion Grand Cru 2009
Green’s Cash Sale Price: $19.99
This small Grand Cru property consists of 12.5 acres is planted in 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. At $19.99, you can’t find a better California Merlot than this! Cinnamon and chocolate in the aroma, this wine has a rich, supple fruit entry and mid-palate. Just oodles of dark fruit encasing mild tannins, it is delicious to drink now or hold 3-4 years-Green’s Wine Buyer

Chat. Ferrand Pomerol 2009
Green’s Cash Sale Price: $24.99
Its hard, nay almost impossible, to find Pomerol from a great year such as 2009 that we can sell at $24.99. They usually start at $50 a bottle and go up from there. Way up! I have a good friend who lives in Bordeaux who brought this wine to me. He insisted that I taste it on one of my recent trips to visit him, saying it was one of the best values he had run across since moving back to France in 1989. I agree it’s delicious! Red and blue fruit nuances with a hint of oak are in the aroma. Some chocolate and dark fruit flavors are on display with only mild tannins even at this early age. Fine Pomerol character for a song! My thanks to “Toto!” - Green’s Wine Buyer |
