2016 Cos d'Estournel Saint-Estephe [JS100][WA100][V100][JD99][D97][WE96][WS96]Producer: Cos d'Estournel Region: Saint Estephe, Bordeaux, France Blend: 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc Year: 2016 James Suckling, 100 Points "This is muscular yet so well defined and toned. Full bodied with deep and dense fruit on the palate, yet powerful and rich at the same time. So much sandalwood and blackberry character. Chewy and rich at the finish. This is a warm and generous wine, but the alcohol is just over 13

The wine stays in these barrels for an elevage of about 12 months

no oak or malolactic fermentation

The 2021 A to Z Wineworks Oregon Chardonnay is an exciting sipper for any occasion

The peat starts taking on an herbaceous and malty character

it brings together just the right mix of elements at just the right moments

It has a caramel color with a beautiful deep golden hue

We worked with winemakers Erich Bradley and Isabel Gassier and a bumper Grenache crop from Rossi Ranch

with 14% alcohol and a juicy and fruit-driven profile
