Wine of the Week

Chateau Roquetaillade La Grange 2001
AOC Graves, Bordeaux, France
12.5% alc/vol $24.99 (BC)

This deep brick red, medium bodied Left Bank red is primarily Cabernet Sauvignon. Prominent herbal, woodsy, wet-earth aromas layer over red currant. More herbs on the palate, with mint, spice, bell pepper and mushroom. Fine, firm tannins and moderate acidity provide stucture and a dusty length. Good value. Drink now or hold short term.
