"The real steal here is the 2009 Cotes de Bordeaux red, a blend of two-thirds Merlot and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon and a small amount of Cabernet Franc. A deep ruby/plum color is followed by sweet black currant, licorice, camphor and forest floor aromas. Medium-bodied with copious fruit and soft tannins, it is ideal for drinking over the next several years. "

"A big, dark and perfumed wine, with a good density of ripe fruits, powerful tannins and layers of spice, acidity and red jelly. It balances weight with freshness to great effect. –RV"

"Warm and rich, the wine from vineyards on the slopes above Cadillac have the structure of the vintage along with the ripe, blackberry fruits. It is already attractive to drink, and will continue to age nicely over the medium term."

Go To Suau Cotes de Bordeaux Rouge
"From the gravel and clay site near Cadillac, this blend of Merlot (60percent) with cabernets Sauvignon and Franc is delicate and sophisticated, with a pretty line of strawberry-scented fruit. Fresh and zesty, it will add some lift to braised rabbit."

Go To Suau Cotes de Bordeaux Rouge
This Merlot with 20% Cabernet Sauvignon from a 160-acre vineyard was aged in wood for 12 months, enhancing the richness and generosity of the blackberry flavors. Ripe tannins play well into the concentration of a wine that will age. Drink from 2023. - Roger Voss
