Don’s July Collector Series Top Pick

July 24, 2014 by Don Lahey

chateau margui rougeJuly’s Collector Series Top Pick belongs to a Spanish wine.  Although choosing July’s Collector Series Top Pick proved to be another tough choice, especially in light of the two outstanding offerings from the great Provencal estate of Chateau Margui, I have to go in favor of Spain’s Terrer d’Aubert.  Terrer d’Aubert’s 2010 profound Cabernet Sauvignon from Taragona garners this month’s Top Pick.  Why?  It’s rare to see Cabernet Sauvignon in Tarragona and such a brilliant Cabernet Sauvignon at that.  Deep, lusty and full of everything good about Cabernet, it earns this month’s Top Pick.  However, you may not want to like Terrer d’Aubert too much.  Only 400 cases made it to our shores, so enjoy this beauty while it lasts.

Salute!
Don
