"The 2020 Château La Fleur (Dassault) is a ripe, sexy wine loaded with character. Giving up notes of blue fruits, violets, and chocolaty oak, its medium to full-bodied and has a pretty, balanced mouthfeel, integrated, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It’s not profound, but it excels for its charm, balance, and complexity. It should offer lots of pleasure over the coming decade." —Jeb Dunnuck
Quality is consistent. Deeper bouquet and flavor than most Cali Zins. The Earth tones come thru beautifully about two years from Vintage. Wonderful
Red to contemplate on its own or with good food.
chianti at a good price- good value for everyday drinking
Not quite in same class as recent chianti from Wine Direct released earlier this year-but also half the price. Excellent value for a red wine: you don't have to worry about finding a superior food to match at this excellent price.
Hard pushed to find a NZ red at this price/quality ratio!
