A sincere thank you to the founders of Soutirage Wine Merchant who provided us with this unique Red Bourdeaux blend: Aimee & Chadwick Meyer, and Matt & Ashley Wilson. Your consistent support for our work is so very much appreciated! And this year's contribution to the auction is outstanding (and our first French offering - ooh la la!).

About the Wine 

The 1988 vintage presented a wet winter and spring, with dry, moderate weather  between July and September; overall a very good year. The Ausone ‘88 reveals distinctive,  complex nuances of dark fruit, fresh herbs, rich earth, tobacco and lingering spice.
