I started with the Grande Reserve Carmenere 2017 ($18.99) from the Los Vascos collection, which is comprised of wine from the &#8220;Napa Valley of Chile.&#8221; I absolutely adored the Carmenere, as it has a bold fruit flavor (perhaps plum) with a simple finish and could pair well with basically any food.<\/p>\n<p>Other Los Vascos wines include a sauvignon blanc 2018 ($11.00) and a grande reserve cabernet sauvignon 2017 ($18.99). I thought the wines were reasonably priced.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-5720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Chateau_odilon_2016_vinco_-76x300.png\" alt=\"chateau_odilon_2016_vinco_\" width=\"76\" height=\"300\" \/>Next on my list was the\u00a0Ch\u00e2teau Odilon 2016 Haut-M\u00e9doc ($34.99) out of the\u00a0Bordeaux Ch\u00e2teaux portfolio. It&#8217;s named after the painter Odilon Redon, who spent his childhood and most of his life on the property. The wine is a blend of merlot (85%) and\u00a0cabernet sauvignon (15%). I thought the cab portion stood out in this aromatic wine that has notes of licorice.<\/p>\n<p>All the wines in this collection are very different from each other. For example, the\u00a0\u00a0Moulin de Duhart\u00a0Pauillac 2016 ($59.99) boasts aromas of deep dark black fruits and cedar.<\/p>\n<p>Domaines Barons de Rothschild also has three wines in its CARO collection, which\u00a0combine French and Argentine cultures, and four wines in its\u00a0Domaine d&#8217;Aussieres collection, which are crafted in the spirit of the South of France.<\/p>\n<p>In Madison, you&#8217;ll be able to find some of these wines at Total Wines.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Photos from\u00a0Domaines Barons de Rothschild<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m glad I accepted an offer to try some wine from\u00a0Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite), because I really enjoyed\u00a0the wine\u00a0and am sure other wine drinkers would, too.
