Bordeaux Wines Overview
Red Wines: Typically blends of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec. Known for structure, balance, and complexity with flavours of dark fruits, cedar, tobacco, and firm tannins that give great aging potential. Bordeaux reds are elegant and terroir-driven.
White Wines: Mostly blends of Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon, and Muscadelle. They range from crisp and refreshing to richer and textured styles. Flavours include citrus, green apple, tropical fruits, with sweet Bordeaux whites like Sauternes known for their lusciousness.
Napa Valley Wines Overview
Red Wines: Often single-varietal, primarily Cabernet Sauvignon. These wines are bold and fruit-forward with ripe black fruit flavours and pronounced oak notes like vanilla and spice. They are rich and approachable with softer tannins compared to Bordeaux.
White Wines: Mainly Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Napa Chardonnays are full-bodied with tropical fruit flavours, buttery texture, and oak influence. Sauvignon Blancs are crisp and vibrant with citrus and grassy notes. Napa whites tend to be richer and more fruit-driven than their Bordeaux counterparts.
