Description
Haut Lorca Bordeaux 2016 750ml
A true Bordeaux blend composed of 65% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc, 2.5% Malbec, and 2.5% Petit Verdot, all five red varieties from organically-farmed vineyards in the Fronsac region were used to compile this stunning value wine. Going on seven years of bottle age, and from one of the decade’s truly great vintages, the 2016 Haut Lorca is a sleeper value that delivers the ripeness of the harvest with integrated tannins and fleshy fruit in classic Bordeaux fashion. For those who complain that the cost of good Bordeaux has become unattainable for everyday drinking (and we agree with you!), we strongly urge you to try a bottle of the 2016 Haut Lorca and take it for a spin. The perfect complement for grilled meats or even a heavier mushroom risotto, we’ve kept a bottle open at Mission for days on end and the flavor never dissipates. This is a Bordeaux that can last days on the counter for $19.99, prompting the perfect evening glass of wine during the work week. Don’t miss it.
