$90.95 Château de Beaucastel 2005 One of the region’s best wines. This massively concentrated, intense wine has notes of game, black cherries, dried herbs, cedar, garrigue, violets, earth and smoke. The Mourvedre grape leads in this blend. Full-bodied with a terrific warm finish. Decants for 2 hours. Moderate tannins in the finish. Food matches: creamed onions, prime rib, lamb shanks, cheddar cheese, dark chocolate.
