The 94-Point, $12.99 2016 Bastide Miraflors
 
Even better than the 2015? Jeb thinks so!
      
 

The 2015 Bastide Miraflors was the top-selling wine in our company's 85-year history. According to Jeb Dunnuck, this 2016 release looks to be even better!

"One of Those Values That Almost Seems Too Good To Be True."
- Jeb Dunnuck, 11/2018

Offering plush dark fruits, balanced spice and a sensationally soft mouthfeel, the 2016 Bastide Miraflors is an insanely over-delivering bottle of wine. This alluring red has earned a raving 94-Point review from Dunnuck and, at $12.99, is going to fly out the door by the multiple caseload.

Whatever you bought of the 2015, you may want to double it for 2016.  Read on for the rest of the story, then quickly  click the   Big Yellow Button  to load up!

2016 Domaine Lafage "Bastide Miraflors"
Côtes du Rousillon, France
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This sensuous 2016 brings a whole new layer of complexity with flavors of blackberry, black cherry, blueberry, ripe wild strawberry, vanilla and mocha along with a wisp of dusty earth, a punch of baking spice and a wonderfully alluring nuance of cedary smoke on the ridiculously long and smooth finish. We didn't think superstar winemaker Jean-Marc Lafage would ever top the 2015 vintage, yet he did with this 2016!

"The 2016 Cotes du Roussillon Bastide Miraflors is, I suspect, the finest vintage for this cuvée to date."
- Jeb Dunnuck, 11/2018

Drinking great from the moment the cork is popped, and selling for just $12.99, the quality-to-price ratio here is simply mind-blowing. This is the kind of wine you can pop anytime, anywhere and for any occasion and have it be a huge hit.  We're not sure how Jean-Marc Lafage manages to put such balance and finesse in the bottle but, wow, did he nail it with this one.

For the 2015 vintage, Jeb compared Bastide Miraflors to a $250 bottling from of California's top cult-producers, Sine Qua Non. The wine we offer today, he hints, may be even better. Better than the $12.99 red he compared to Sine Qua Non? This is every wine lover's dream!

With an almost blushing enthusiasm, Jeb awards 94 points and writes this spot-on love letter of a review...

"A wine that almost always over-delivers, the 2016 Côtes du Roussillon Bastide Miraflors is, I suspect, the finest vintage for this cuvée to date (it's in the same league as the off-the-charts 2015). A blend of 80% Syrah and 20% Grenache from Lesquerde and Saint Martin de Fenouillet (both in the northern part of the Roussillon), aged all in older barrels and concrete tanks, it boasts rockstar notes of ripe blackberry fruits, spice, dried garrigue, and hints of chocolate. Possessing a full-bodied, layered mouthfeel, sweet tannins, and sensational purity, it's another one of those values that almost seems too good to be true. Drink it any time over the coming 3-4 years. 2018 - 2022."

This is a wine that sits in a class by itself. People are going to be snapping this one up cases at a time!
