Château Sainte Barbe 2005 Red
- 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
- $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 2010 Red (Bordeaux Supérieur)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
No Bordeaux should clock in at 15% alcohol, and this wine shows its power in extracted tannins and licorice flavor. Its acidity helps to mitigate the heat, but the flavor of black plum juice is heavier than the structure.

Château Sainte Barbe 2010 Merlot
- Online Exclusive

A rich but well balanced wine, this features ripe flavors and integrated tannins. A juicy black-currant note sits with the dusty structure, with fragrant acidity on the finish. The Château Sainte-Barbe is at the end of the promontory that lies between the Dordogne and Garonne Rivers just before they meet.
