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

750ml

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.

Reviews

France in Fremont

"Great wine looking for a great dinner. Brought a bottle to my favorite French Restaurant in Fremont, Ca. and pared it with Beef Wellington. Wise decision. It finished off great with the peppercorn sauce."

— Michael W. (5/5)

Very smooth

"Enjoyed this bottle quite a bit - very smooth and deep. I also tried the 2014 and liked this one much more. Planning on getting more of this!"

— Brian N. (5/5)

Great medoc for the money.

"One of the best values I have had from a de negoce wine."

— Aaron M. (5/5)

Gonna be good

"Tucked away now for a few years but will open one in a month or so after its nap from all that travel."

— Steven T. (5/5)

GREAT WINE AT A GREAT PRICE

"THE WINE WAS GREAT. HAD IT WITH NY STRIP AND PASTA WITH RED GRAVY. GUESTS LOVED IT. I LET IT BREATH FOR 6 HOURS. THAT IS WHY I PURCHASED SIX BOTTLES TO ADD TO MY WINE CELLAR."

— VICTOR M. (5/5)

Decant and enjoy a terroir-driven wine

"Fruit is dark and lush, but the non-fruit notes are most prominent. A good example, if not broadly-appealing."

— Andrew R. (4/5)

Excellent value

"Good structure and still has time in the bottle. Can’t wait to taste next year"

— J B. (5/5)

Very Disappointed

"I have been buying from here for some time. I rave about the wines. However this one was disappointing. The cork basically disintegrated to crumbs and the wine was very poor. I ended up pouring out the bottle after one glass. That said, this is the first one I have ever had that didn't meet expectations. I ordered another case today of wines and will continue to be a loyal customer. I just feel this particular wine was past it's expiration date and/or stored incorrectly. Keep up the GREAT work. These things happen in the world of wines I feel."

— Brian M. (1/5)

Looking forward to trying it

"Have not tried this wine as of yet, as the shipment arrived in a damaged case. The botles appeared to be fine; the box, not so much. We have been resting all the wines in that shipment and look forward to trying in the near future. I fully expect it to be a very fine French wine"

— Michael S. (4/5)

Amazing Blend

"This wine was bold, full-bodied, rich. We will definitely buy more. great price for amazing wine"

— Alyson D. (5/5)
