Château la Font du Jeu 2009 Red (Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux)
- $20
A solid, distinctly tannic wine that has structure, some juicy black fruits and a more smooth polished aftertaste from the wood aging. Herbs and spice add attractive richness. It needs 2–3 years.

Château les Martinelles 2009 Cuvée des Cerisiers Red (Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux)
- $16
Structured wine, the smoky, juicy fruit flavors right up front with the dry tannins. It has good aging potential, its powerful density offering a firm, solid character. It is certainly young at this stage, the smoky wood character showing right through. Keep for 3–4 years.

Château Bellevue 2009 Cuvée Vieilles Vignes Red (Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux)
- $20
Mint and tannins feature in the initial flavor, then it opens out to show delicious blackberry juice fruit. The tannins are dry but integrate with acidity to give more serious aspect to this balanced wine.

Château des Demoiselles 2009 Red (Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux)
- $18
Dense tannins and a solid, chunky character suggest a wine with richness. The black fruits are concentrated, with juiciness coming through over time. It has the ripe power of the 2009 vintage.
