Merch Notes

2010 Chateau Croix du Rival, Lussac-St Emilion AOP
On Sale $18.99
A plush and smoky style, with a bacon edge to the core of roasted apple wood, steeped plum and pastis-soaked blackberry fruit. Delivers a fleshy feel through the finish as the roasted wood accent lingers. Drink now through 2015. 200 cases imported.

2012 Chateau Croix du Rival, Lussac-Saint Emilion AOP
On Sale $18.99 (LOWEST PRICE ONLINE BY OVER $20!!)
The 2012 Rival is super-expressive and attractive today. Scents of rose petal, mint and sweet red cherries are alluring, while beams of supporting acidity and minerality give the wine much of its energy. Stephan von Neipperg proves he also has the magic touch here, in Lussac Saint-Emilion, where he is making absolutely delicious wines.
