As we know very well, Chateau Haut-Rian owner/winemaker Michel Dietrich is proficient in White and Rose wine but he is equally skilled with his superbly priced red wines. A spectacular value, this classic Bordeaux blend comes from various sites along the slopes of the Garonne River, which encompass limestone, clay and gravelly soils.
Prominent violet tones surround smoke, subtle tobacco-leaf, hints of fennel and intermittent espresso tones all which take excellent form and present themselves in a deceptively deep manner. Lacy, silky texture with a classic firm Bordeaux middle that builds and flows judiciously into a finish that takes off, especially given its price point. Very versatile with food pairings. Drink over the next 3-5 years with chicken, rib-eye steak, grilled pork, lentil soup, even pizza.
The Cellar Door is closed today, Friday November 25, 2016 and will re-open Monday morning....Bryan will be taking orders for this wine via handheld.

So many of y'all know this wine, but it is important for us to reiterate…HAUT-RIAN NEVER GOES OUT OF SEASON!! Bryan uncorked a bottle over the weekend and all of its goodness leaped right out of the glass! Like clockwork, 7 months after we initially released it, we now see amazing mineral, peat, smoke and seashore scents coming out and beautifully mingling with the famous lemony tomes that this white wine is so known for. Grab some mussels or oysters and go to town…one last thing to always remember - HAUT RIAN NEVER GOES OUT OF FASHION!!! Stock up for the holidays!!

BORDEAUX ROSÉ
$9.99 BTL./$119.88 CASE
The sun is shining and these days it is über-chic to drink rosé in the summertime....Wait just one minute!!! It's November, it's probably raining sideways and the sun is in hiding until June, so why the bloody hell are we offering rosé??!! Because it is so damn delectable year round!
Many have heard the legend of Haut Rian Rosé, some of you have even experienced it, but the reality is that this is simply oh so good. Very fine in color, but very arresting and striking with its flavors, this is Rosé that'll make you brave! Knockout aromas of violet, grapefruit, red raspberry and a touch of smoky earth impeccably roll into a texture that is almost floral with bone-dry bursting citrus-berry fireworks that reveal themselves on the mouth-watering, call you back for more finish.
