Château la Garde 2003 White (Pessac-Léognan)
Owned by négociant firm Dourthe, La Garde has developed hugely in recent years both for red and white wines. This white from 2003 is certainly rich, a product of the hot summer, but it shows good balance from the light touch of vanilla wood flavors, creamed apples and some good tannic structure. Age over the next five years.

Château la Garde 2005 Red (Pessac-Léognan)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
Dark in color, this wine has sold tannins over rich mint and black plum fruits. The structure is firm, but the whole wine has enough richness to sustain the dry core and to offer 4–5 years aging.

- $30
Spicy new wood is obvious in the aroma of this smooth, polished, ripe white wine. It has richness, with its flavors of nutmeg, pears and fresh red apple acidity. The wine is worth aging for two years, to allow the fruit and wood to blend.
