90+ Cellars Classic Bordeaux

Believe it or not, even the most celebrated wineries in the world often have the ability to produce more than they can sell under their own top labels. With this idea in mind, Kevin Mehra launched 90+ Cellars. His concept was simple: allow great wineries to sell more wine through a new brand. By offering to not disclose the source, Kevin found that many wineries were happy to offer him their top wines at lower costs in order to sell more. And in doing so, 90+ Cellars was able to bring these world class wines to more people at better prices.

Our global selection is a result of these partnerships with wineries all over the world. The producers we work with all have a history of scoring 90+ point ratings on their wines. Without the overhead and geographical constraints of managing our own vineyards and wineries, we can focus on bringing you remarkable bottles. No need to wander the aisles searching for a great buy, we’ve done the work for you.

As the home to some of the world’s most renowned red grape varieties, Bordeaux is about as classic it gets. Some of the most famous, and famously expensive, wines in the world come from this region. Lot 161 is a traditional Bordeaux red blend, made from classic grapes, and served up at an everyday price that can’t be beat!

This wine is made from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot grapes that are grown in vineyards located in the Bordeaux appellation, about 60 kilometers south of the city of Bordeaux. The growers are committed to sustainable farming. Elegant and full bodied, the wine has spicy dark fruit aromas and a rich, silky texture.

Ripe red plum and red berry fruit burst from the glass. On the palate, ripe tannins and a balanced finish make for a fuller bodied wine with more intense red primary fruit aromas due to the higher percentage of Merlot. Pair with roast lamb with garlic and rosemary or a spread of hard sheep cheeses.
