Lot 359
2015 Haut Medoc Red Wine (92-Points)

Lot 359 comes to us from a producer that's nicely situated on the Left Bank in the Haut-Médoc region, backed by scores and medals. Considering you'll know the source once the cork is pulled, there's no harm in telling you it's from the recently-elevated to Cru Bourgeois Supérieur-status property of Château Larose Perganson. We've got the exact same wine (purchased in shiners) under our label with by far the best prices available.

66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot makes for a fun, earthy nose of the highest French caliber: turned soils, decaying leaves, and dark fruits accented by cola pinned underneath might be one of the better examples for American consumers what one means by terroir. Extending the strong sense of place to the palate, the entry is pure elegance with fresh-sliced peppers, red clay dust, forest floor, and accents of new, soft leather framed by deft acidity and perfectly integrated, polished tannins. The finish is long, yet continues the elegance throughout.
