A wine of statuesque build and class, the 2021 represents another major step forward for BV. Black cherry, plum, spice, new leather, menthol, mocha and gravel soar from the glass. This is an especially refined vintage for this flagship wine. Here, too, there is plenty of tannin, but it is not anywhere near as perceptible as it was in the past. Shorter macerations and gentler overall winemaking, including fewer lots vinified in barrel, have elevated the Georges meaningfully.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RNDC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50780021326145,"sku":"01-23881","price":150.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0009\/1688\/1467\/files\/1787486x.webp?v=1734649385"},{"product_id":"2022-stags-leap-winery-merlot","title":"2022 Stags' Leap Winery Merlot","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95 Points - James Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e:  \u003cspan\u003ePlush and generous aromas of Damson plums, citrus peel, iodine and tea leaves.
