Rive Droite Red Bordeaux Blend

Who said that 2011 is a poor vintage?

Liked the blend, the rose was love at first sight. Oak aged rose is an art form. Monsieur Blankiet's rose takes it to the next level.

Elegant, mouth filling loveliness.

A wine in its prime! Perfectly integrated dark fruit, vanilla, and dark chocolate. A pleasant and long finish.

Thought this was a goner after whiffing our UPS driver twice in the Florida summer swamp. Still in great shape. Lighter than most vintages but smooth and balanced.

Very enjoyable Merlot. Light bodied and supple on the palate. Excellent balance.

One our favorite Napa producers! This merlot blend is a great mix of power and elegance. Fruit forward and very inviting from start to finish. When your mother says she wants to drink merlot, you don’t hold back!

Definitely marked by the vintage. A bit thin and austere, but on the other hand it has a very pleasant lightness and purity. I enjoy drinking it, but it is perhaps a bit disappointing for the price point.
