Today's featured product is a return of a wine that we haven't had in stock for some time. Chateau Lilian Ladouys Saint-Estephe 2010 rated 94 points from Wine Enthusiast (#15 of their Top 100), 92 points from James Suckling and 90 from IWC. This lovely little cru Bourgeois in Saint Estephe enjoys an enviable location close to Lafite Rothschild and Cos d'Estournel and is planted to 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc. With old vines averaging 40 years, Lilian Ladouys has incredible potential to produce exciting wines during our lifetime with very reasonable price tags.

From Wine Enthusiast: "Obviously wood-aged, with a smoky toast flavor, this is a wine that shows the power of Saint-Estèphe tannins in full force. At the same time, there is a blackberry character that adds richness and juiciness, which cuts through the dry core. Age for at least 7-8 years."
Regularly $31.99, but on sale for only $26.99 in the Bottle Club®. With those ratings, combined with this price point, anyone from a wine novice on up can confidently give this as a gift, or keep it to enjoy.
