Barrouge

2007 Barrouge
The 2007 Barrouge is composed of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc. The 2007 finishes with soft elegant tannins and touches of roasted almonds that come from the 22 months in French oak. A softer wine, it reveals chocolate, black cherries, and black currants, a lush texture, elegance with substance, and a nicely textured finish. It should drink well for 7-10 years.

2007 Barrouge Vintage Notes



2006 Barrouge

The 2006 Barrouge (80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 5% Petite Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc) offers up notes of smoked herbs, damp earth, tar, sweet cherries, and plums. Medium-bodied and elegant with some of the vintage’s tell-tale tannins, it offers good flesh as well as an alluring appeal. Drink it over the next 7-8 years.

A blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petite Verdot, the out standing 2005 Barrouge boasts a fascinating array of aromas including ripe black fig, blackberry, cassis and mocha. The wine possesses a deep ruby/purple color, in addition the richly textured palate brings intense black fruit flavors and notes of vanilla, black currants, espresso roast and chocolate tones. Firmly structured and packed with layers of luxurious flavor, the wine features round tongue-coating tannins to provide a long savory finish.
