Steeped in history, Chateau Ormes de Paz in Saint-Estèphe, Bordeaux crafts this exceptional red blend. The Saint-Estèphe region is renowned for its Cabernet Sauvignon, and this wine reflects that heritage.
Uncork a world of flavor. This Saint-Estèphe offers a core of black currant and plum, layered with hints of cedar and tobacco for an intriguing complexity. The finish lingers with a touch of spice, reminiscent of dark chocolate, for a truly memorable experience.
This is very dense and lively with blueberry and blackberry character. Lots of purple fruit at the end. Full body and powerful tannins. Spicy undertones with hints of black tea.
A blend of 50% Merlot, 41% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot, aged in 45% new barriques, the deep garnet-purple colored 2018 Ormes de Pez comes tearing out of the glass with rambunctious notes of stewed black cherries, crème de cassis and raspberry pie, plus hints of Indian spices, dried Provence herbs and potpourri with a waft of woodsmoke. The full-bodied palate is decadently spicy with bags of black fruit preserves and a velvety texture, finishing long with lovely freshness. Lisa Perrotti-Brown
50% Merlot, 41% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot.
Black to the dark-crimson rim. Open and aromatic: black cherry, blueberry, some oak spice and vanilla but not too much. Powerful, compact, dry but still balanced and finishes fresh. Big and chewy but still harmonious. (JH)
