| Red blend | Chateau Les Ormes de Pez | | | The 2000 is one of the best in recent memory sporting intensity and elegance. An almost even blend of cabernet sauvignon and merlot topped off with cabernet franc combine to create a wine with layers of flavor and a supple structure. |
| Red blend | Chateau Lynch-Bages | | | A truly great wine that needs years in the bottle to reveal itself. Concentrated and tannic with blackberry, licorice, pepper and touches of cedar, this is one for the cellar. |
| White blend | Chateau Lynch-Bages Blanc | | | The crispness of sauvignon blanc, the richness of semillon and the explosively aromatic quality of muscadelle come together in this complex, medium-full-bodied white. Honey, toasty and floral aromas lead to ripe pear flavors and a finish of spice notes. |
| White blend | Chateau Villa Bel-Air Blanc | | | Fuller and more lush than many Graves whites, the barrel-fermented wine is a blend of semillon, sauvignon blanc and muscadelle. Try it with delicate fish dishes. |
| Red blend | Chateau Villa Bel-Air Rouge | | | Super smooth from the healthy dose of merlot, aromatic from the cabernet franc and structured from the base of cabernet sauvignon, this blend is more than the sum of its parts. The price, plus attractive packaging make it an ideal gift idea. |
| Red blend | Michel Lynch Merlot | | | The quality of the 2000 vintage shows through in a vibrant, juicy merlot. Sporting cherry and spice notes, integrated oak and light tannins, it's just what merlot should be: an easy-drinking red. Try it with chicken in a mushroom sauce or pork tenderloin. |
| White blend | Michel Lynch Sauvignon Blanc | | | Loaded with tangy citrus notes and aromas of fresh herbs, this light-bodied, oak-free white is an ideal companion for oysters and other shellfish or goat cheese slathered on fresh bread. |
