Reignac - 2005 (750ml) Size:750ml is indebted to both Barbeito’sFrom a large 200 acre vineyard, this blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon comes from a high plateau near the village of Saint Loubs. A consistently over achieving wine that is far superior to its humble appellation (Bordeaux Suprieur), the 2005 may be one of the all time great Reignacs. Inky purple, almost black to the rim, the wine looks like a two year old rather than one thats already hit a decade. Proprietors Yves and Stephanie Vatelot
