D.H. Elliott California BX 2017
About the wine
It's Bordeaux - with California muscle
- It's 5 Bordeaux wines in one – rich Cabernet's the backbone. Merlot adds supple spice and juicy fruits, like black cherries and plum. Cab Franc and Petit Verdot make it robust and inky – and the Malbec smooths out every sip.
- ... and it's made with one-of-a-kind California flair, thanks to DH – your Angel-funded winemaker who loves world-class fruit as much as a world-class deal. With your support, he called on his connections to haul in the best fruit in the state!
- Cali's climate gives this traditional blend a crazy amount of oomph – it's not the French wine you know. It's more rebellious, more robust... and it's gonna be great with steak frites.
Best before
Ready to enjoy now as it does not require aging, but it will evolve over the next few years.
Serving advice
Serve at 60-65 F. That's usually about 10-15 minutes in the fridge prior to opening.
Food match
I like to pair this kind of wine with a marbled steak. The tannin and the fattiness play off each other cleansing the palate between bites and accentuating the fruit in the wine.
