2015 Christian Moueix Othello Napa Valley USA

GW says: This great wine is made by Christian Moueix, the man responsible for making Château Pétrus the world's most famous wine. Produced from Napanook vineyard in Yountville, California, Othello is a wine that expresses the singularity of its exceptional terroir and is accessible and enjoyable in its youth. A Bordeaux blend, the wine is forthcoming with lovely aromas of red fruit, round, silky tannins and an abounding brightness.
