Château Tour D’Auron, Bordeaux Supérieur (Bordeaux, France) 2009

($16, Vintus Imports):  Château Tour D’Auron is a château controlled by the well-regarded and talented Milhade family, who produces a bevy of fine wines from all their properties.  This “little” wine exemplifies why Bordeaux is so popular.  Supple and polished, it has the concentration of the 2009 vintage.  Subtle savory nuances complement the red and black fruit notes in this harmonious wine and make it more than just a fruit bomb.  It’s perfect for drinking now.
