2009 Chateau le Thil Comte Clary Blanc Pessac-Leognan On Sale $25.99
A gorgeous blend of 60% Semillon and
40% Sauvignon Blanc, this wine is under the radar for most consumers.
Delicious notes of honeydew melons, mandarin oranges, honeysuckle and
white flowers jump from the glass of this delicious, dry, subtly oaked
wine that is a big sleeper of the vintage and sells for a song.
Anticipated maturity: now-2020.

2009 Chateau le Thil Comte Clary Rouge Pessac-Leognan On Sale $25.99
This
is quite ripe, with a big core of linzer torte, cassis and blackberry
fruit, but well-supported by graphite and melted licorice notes. Offers
ample breadth and depth, with honest grip through the finish. A rather
polished style for a Pessac. Should settle in nicely with mid-term
cellaring. Best from 2013 through 2020. 5,000 cases made.

2009 Chateau Cap de Faugeres Cotes de Castillon On Sale $29.99
The
2009 is possibly the best Cap de Faugeres yet made, a sleeper of the
vintage, and a realistically priced one at that. A blend of 85% Merlot
and the rest Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon that hit 14% natural
alcohol, the wine displays loads of charcoal, blackberry, espresso roast
and white chocolate. It is full-bodied, unctuously textured, with very
sweet tannin and stunning purity, texture and length. This is a
super-duper wine, bottled unfined and unfiltered under the guidance of
the consultant Michel Rolland. Drink it over the next 10+ years.

2009 Chateau Larrivet Haut Brion Pessac-Leognan On Sale $39.99
A
sleeper of the vintage and better than its 2010 sibling, the
plum/garnet-hued 2008 possesses a smoky barbecue, charcoal/burning ember
character intermixed with ripe, sweet cherry and black currant fruit.
Medium-bodied and beautifully concentrated with silky tannins as well as
a long finish, it can be enjoyed over the next 10-15 years.
Rated 90/100 Points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
2009 Chateau Tronquoy-Lalande St.Estephe On Sale $39.99
Loaded
with black currant and spring flower characteristics as well as a nice
lashing of minerality, this sleeper of the vintage is a medium to
full-bodied, luscious St.-Estephe to enjoy now and over the next 10-12
years.
