Why Michael F. loves this wine: Purple-black in the glass, the oak sings with notes of ripe black plum and cassis, all carried along with a velvety fine-grained tannin. Delish!

Why Madeline Triffon, M.S. Loves this Wine: Elegance alert!  Medium bodied, richly flavored with classic forest floor and cedar scents.  Lots of smooth tannins just asking for a simple steak with pommes frites (French fries!).  Hard to believe this quality for the price point… A large, gorgeous property that’s a stone’s throw from the A+ estates of Beychevelle, Gruaud Larose and Branaire-Ducru.  The owners have lobbied more than once to have their appellation changed to St-Julien.

Why Madeline Triffon, M.S. loves this wine: "Quality right out of the gate - what an aroma!  Dried and fresh lavender, blueberry jam, oak spice, black licorice, and dusty earth.  The palate follows beautifully, is nicely edgy and speaks to a future.  Carillon, “bells”, is the second label of an iconic Right Bank star, the Premier Grand Cru Classé “A” Château Angelus.  The estate name comes from the Angelus prayers, in a spot where you can hear bells from 3 churches."

Why Michael F. loves this wine: Nimble as a gymnast, this Sauvignon Blanc is sly with the way it explodes with notes of lemon-orange rind, green apple, and a mouthwatering saline acidity.
