2009 September Wine Club Cellar Selection Those who know the producers of Bordeaux know that they're confident enough in the pedigree of their wines to insist that they don't need to take any lessons from other wine regions and their winemakers. But it seems that the folks of Vieux Champs de Mars in the Cote de Casillon have taken a winemaking trick or two from their counterparts in Burgundy. Their Cuvee Johanna was made by employing malolactic fermentation in wood as well as lees stirring, followed by aging in 100% new oak. Rather progressive of them, and the innovation paid off. Robert Parker called this wine a "big-time sleeper of the vintage, possessing superb intensity, full-bodied power, a dense purple color, sweet truffle-infused black raspberry and blackberry fruit, a beautiful texture, and long, chocolatey, heady mouthfeel as well as finish." Drink now through 2015. Food pairing: Blackberry-glazed roast pork loin Reviews Robert Parker 89-91 Points The 2005 Cuvee Johanna (also 13.5% alcohol) is aged in 100% new oak, and sees malolactic in wood as well as lees stirring, a la Burgundy. A big-time sleeper of the vintage, it possesses superb intensity, full-bodied power, a dense purple color, sweet truffle-infused black raspberry and blackberry fruit, a beautiful texture, and a long, chocolatey, heady mouthfeel as well as finish. It should drink well for a decade.
