Crafted by legendary luxury winemaker Julien Fayard, experiencing a bottle of Le Pich always leaves a lasting impression. This is a wine that will undoubtedly please any full-bodied red wine drinker. |
“Le Pich sets a new bar for just how much wine can be packed into this price range.”
Like the Golden Eagles that soar above their vines, Le Pich’s Cabernet possesses the perfect interplay of power and grace. And just like spotting this breathtaking creature in its natural state, experiencing a bottle of Le Pich leaves a lasting impression. Made by Julien Fayard legendary winemaker well-practiced in elite luxury labels. He honed his craft at none other than Lafite-Rothschild and Smith-Haut-Lafitte in Bordeaux, then took his talents to Napa, where he worked with Quintessa, Dana, Dalla Valle, Lail, and many others.
A sister label of Purlieu, whose wines start at $100, many may assume Le Pich Cabernet is a lesser wine simply because of its lower price, but that couldn’t be further from the truth: Le Pich accomplishes everything one could hope for in Napa Cabernet—luxury and lift that belies its humble price point. Le Pich is one of our best selling brands of all times, for good reason. I strongly recommend a case… you can thank me later.
Introduce this luxurious gem at an upscale party; gift it to the most hard-to-please aficionados; or pull the cork during an intimate dinner. When a wine is this good your options are unlimited!
Tasting Notes:
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Le Pich features very pretty notes of crushed blueberries, blackberries and chocolate-covered cherries with hints of violets and cedar chest plus a waft of bay leaves. Medium to full-bodied, packed with vibrant black fruits and plushly textured, this buxom beauty is ready for biz, finishing satisfyingly long and spicy.
