Staff Pick Notes

Some wines just have it all: great price, quality winemaking, and, most importantly, the delicious factor. This wine achieves it all through the diligent, careful attention of the wine-making duo, Rachel and Guillaume Hubert. Their family has been making wine since the 17th century, putting six generations of experience behind them. Their production has been biodynamic since 2000 (which is not easy in a Bordeaux). They use indigenous yeasts and keep their yields astonishingly low. This wine comes from clay and gravel soil in the Côtes de Bourg, which brings out supple fruit and spicy notes. A blend of mostly Merlot with Cab Sauv, it's a concentrated, robust wine with classic notes of red cassis, graphite, and a great tannic structure. Utterly charming.

Cabernet Sauvignon

The result of an illicit affair a hundred-odd years ago between Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon today enjoys more worldwide popularity than both of its parents combined. It is the principal grape of Bordeaux, and as such has rightly earned its place among the greatest and most long-lived wines of the Old World; of course, it is also the most heralded grape of California,...
