2007 Chateau Julien ‘La Conviviance,’ Monterey County

A Bordeaux-style blend of Merlot, Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep purple-plum color. Wow! A complex, layered nose of coffee, leather, chocolate and vanilla frames concentrated black currant and blackberry fruit. Full-bodied, with medium-grained tannins, this is a serious wine that will age gracefully over the next 15-plus years.

MSRP: $90 (May 2011)

Wine Lines rating: 93
