Château Sainte-Barbe 2010 Red (Bordeaux Supérieur)
- $17
. Recent vintages have left Bordeaux with an alcohol problem, as seen in this wine. The saving grace is the essential Cabernet Sauvignon structure and acidity that keeps the ripe Merlot in balance.

Château Sainte Barbe 2005 Red (Bordeaux)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
There is plenty of ripe fruit here, the richness of 2005 evident. The flavors are of ripe blackberry jam, red plums and a strong structure of sweet tannins. There is a fresh, acidity-driven juicy lift on the finish.

Château Sainte Barbe 2008 Red (Bordeaux)
- $17
With its strong wood aromas, this is a wine that seems to have spent too much time in barrel. The weight of black fruits does give it a chance to balance out. Keep for 2–3 years.

Château Sainte Barbe 2006 Red (Bordeaux)

This soft, wood- and blackberry-flavored wine shows spice alongside acidity. It has an edge of astringency and green herbs, but the vanilla from the wood does give it some weight and balance.
