It is a blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot, picked between 23 September until 12 October with the Cabernet Franc. Matured in 65% new oak (although technical director Fabien Teitgen mentioned that he could have added more if he felt it would benefit), it has a very intense, blueberry and crème de cassis scented bouquet, a touch more opulent than its peers with hints of freshly shucked oyster shell developing with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannin couched in gorgeous, satin-textured black cherry and cassis fruit, tinged with cedar and pencil shavings. It lingers very long and sensually in the mouth, completing a sophisticated and powerful Smith Haut-Lafitte that should age in splendid fashion.\u003c\/span\u003e 95-97 WA\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":7505796792350,"sku":"SmithHautLafit15","price":109.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0150\/0646\/products\/79.jpg?v=1605955924"},{"product_id":"2011-meroi-merlot-dominin-colli-orientali-friuli-italy","title":"2011 Meroi Merlot \"Dominin\" Colli Orientali Friuli Italy","description":"\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003c!-- accordion --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most expensive wine in the world is a Merlot from Petrus in Bordeaux.

Domenico, nicknamed “Dominin”, handed down the ownership of the estate to his son Attilio and his grandson Davino. Paolo Meroi today continues the activity started by his great grandfather. By the end of the seventies he managed to bottle the wine, which up to then was only sold locally and on tap, and to enlarge the estate to its current 19 hectares of vineyards on the hills behind Buttrio. In 2007 the estate acquired the vineyard known as “Zitelle”, established in Buttrio. Once an old clay quarry, the vineyard became part of the historic family vineyard known as “Dominin”. Approximately 40% of the farmland in “Dominin” is devoted to vine growing, most of which is included in the D.O.C.

There is a quandry, however. Champagne reigns supreme in this category. So, what is a blue blooded American celebrating Thanksgiving, the most American of holidays, to toast with? The answer: This wine. Born and raised in Mendocino in the bucolic Anderson Valley where it is sufficiently cold to make crisp and bright sparkling wines, this wine is consistently one of the best sparkling wines made in the US!

Beautifully shiny and limpid, this wine displays a youthful color. Juicy, generous aromas of red and black fruits burst from the glass, accompanied by notes of oak and plenty of freshness. On the palate, the wine takes on a lot of breadth while retaining its juicy character. Suave, aromatic notes of black fruits and oak persist.
