This is the second label from Castel, a fresh and balanced Bordeaux blend. The famille Castel made it good value, so you can pour it midweek without thinking twice.
Mood: The guest who already knows Castel's Grand Vin and wants the everyday bottle. The Friday-night Shabbos table that wants Castel's signature elegance without the cellar pricing.
Our sommelier says
The color is bright ruby. Fruit leads a lifted nose of red and dark cherry and soft cedar, with a quiet floral note that carries Castel's signature in compact form. Structure comes from Cabernet, Merlot rounds out the mid-palate, and the leafy lift is from Petit Verdot. Most of the aging is in concrete tanks, with some French oak influence, so the fruit reads clean and forward and the wood is never heavy. The body is medium-to-full, with rounded tannin and the finesse of the Castel house. It is the everyday wine the Castels actually drink at their own table.
Tasting notes
Red and dark cherry, with soft cedar and a gentle floral note. Medium-to-full, fruit-led, and elegant, with rounded tannin. A clean, balanced finish, gently spiced.
Food pairing
Good with roast chicken, brisket on Friday night, lamb kebabs, grilled vegetables, and hard cheese (after the wait).
