Château Clarke 2009

Wine Spectator Review: This delivers a direct beam of red and black currant fruit, liberally laced with tobacco and roasted cedar notes that hang through the lightly firm finish. Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. -Wine Spectator Parker Review: One of the better Clarkes ever made, this wine from the cool, backwater appellation of Listrac displays serious density, an opaque ruby/purple color, and lots of earth, black currants and raspberries. Drink it over the next 10-12 years. -Robert Parker

Red Bordeaux pairs nicely with red meat, game such as pheasant and poultry such as grilled turkey. It complements food prepared with red wine and rich sauces.
