Very rainy spring backed by very dry summer. Cabernet relished the drought. Upper M��doc superb, with St.-Estèphe, Pauillac and St.-Julien the epicenter of quality

AboutChâteau Pontet-Canet 2016 Pauillac

Hi @Jimmy, you've been quiet lately. Hate to jump back in w/ problems but the '16 Pontet-Canet does indeed have a wine-searcher avg ($200) and a REALLY lengthy listing to boot...

Tim McCullough
AboutCLASSIFIED 2022 'Undisclosed' Napa Valley Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

They don't mention that on the site..."We hand-selected the best grapes from our iconic BV Ranches No. 1 and No. 2. Originally planted by Georges de Latour in the early 1900s, these vineyards lie on the western bench of the Rutherford AVA. We focused on clonal selections 6, 4, 169, 7, and 8, which yield small berries with the high skin-to-juice ratio needed to make intense, long-lived wines. These vines are deeply rooted in the well-draining, alluvial-fan soils of Rutherford, which is considered one of the finest regions in the Napa Valley for Cabernet Sauvignon."
