$38(free S/H) Chateau Dauprat is located in the Bordeaux commune of Pauillac, which is home to some of the greatest names in wine including Latour, Lafite, and Mouton. It is in these vineyards where many argue Cabernet's true character is revealed through Pauillac's exceptional terroir. Chateau Dauprat stretches over 2 acres and is surrounded by Chateau Latour, Chateau Pichon Comtesse de Lalande and Chateau Lynch-Bages. This exceptional location has allowed this wine to enjoy a great reputation over the years and this vintage confirms the Chateau's commitment to quality. Made from a blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot and 7% Cabernet Franc, this wine has the tell tale Pauillac aromas of red currant, graphite and cigar box. Full-bodied with a fine tannic structure and a strong finish with notes of blackberry, black currant and vanilla, this wine can age another five years in cellar but can also be enjoyed now with a little breathing time.
