Take home this third wine (of sorts) from St Julien's grand Chateau Beychevelle for a song! Who said you couldn't drink great Bordeaux every day? Just don't wait, this steal sold out quite quickly the last time we had it. This wine is elegant and consists of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged partially in new oak barrels, the wine is rich and round, medium to full-bodied and has luscious ripe red fruit flavors, spice and a touch of new oak. Superb value. The label has a picture of the mythical galleon of the famous Chateau Beychevelle. According to Wine Spectator: "This has some nice black cherry and chocolate powder, with a hint of cola. Medium-bodied, with a tasty palate and a medium finish.
