2007 Chateau Julien ‘Black Nova III,’ Monterey County

An ultra-premium bottling composed of equal parts Malbec and Syrah. Purple-plum color. This unique proprietary blend bursts with cedar-tinged, bright, sassy, polished red plums and berries. It weighs in at a hefty 15% alcohol, yet is lithe and smooth in the mouth. With aeration, exotic perfumes emerge.

MSRP: $78 (May 2011)

Wine Lines rating: 91
