Chateau de Pez 2014 St. Estephe 750ml

The 2014 de Pez is a powerful, dense, richly textured wine. Graphite, smoke, licorice, lavender and a host of dark-fleshed fruit notes abound. The 2014 offers striking depth, with more than enough underpinning of structure to support a number of years of fine drinking. The blend is 56 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 41 % Merlot and 3 % Petit Verdot. The 2014 is a gorgeous wine, and a sleeper for the year.
