Summer is fleeting, and pretty soon the days will become cooler and shorter. This is no cause for sadness, dear readers. The upcoming months bring their own distinctive pleasures: evenings by the fire - including outdoor fire pits - heartier foods, and richer wines. When the time comes, you will be so glad to have today's pre-arrival Buy the Case Feature, a sensational Left Bank Bordeaux, packed in wood, that will give you loads of enjoyment. The best part? This wine is offered by several wine clubs at about $35 per bottle; today, it is yours for $14!

Château Tour du Haut-Moulin was established in 1870 and was managed exclusively by the Cazaux-Poitou family until 2024, when 6th generation proprietor Lionel Poitou entered into a partnership with winemakers Golan Flam, Dan Sheinman, and Eran Pick, Master of Wine. With almost 100 years of combined experience in winemaking, the team oversees all aspects of the process, from managing their 10 hectares of vineyards to harvest and vinification. Their dedication to maximizing the estate’s potential while preserving its long-standing traditions is the key to their success.

A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with a touch of Petit Verdot, the 2022 Château Tour du Haut-Moulin Cru Bourgeois has rich aromas of black fruits, vanilla, brambly earth, and baking spices. The palate is medium- to full-bodied and resplendent with flavors of cassis, black cherries, and blackberries layered with touches of licorice, cocoa, and wet stone. Pliant tannins and moderate acidity add structure while preserving the wine's silky texture. The finish is long, with notes of mineral-tinged red and black berries.

92 points, Vinous:
"The 2022 Tour du Haut-Moulin has a precocious bouquet with black cherries and cassis fruit, crushed violets emerging with time in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with a ripe entry, fine acidity, quite citrus-fresh with hints of blood orange toward its live wire, tensile finish. Plenty of energy here. Bon vin."

91 points, James Suckling:
"Deep and compact with fine-grained tannins and vivid, dark-fruited character."
