Chateau Gombaude, Pom n Roll Pomerol
"Bordeaux is typically not a wine that makes you want to shake, rattle, or roll. But that's about to change, thanks to this new cuvée from Olivier Techer, the youngster running things at Gombaude-Guillot. His idea is to take out the components that make Bordeaux uncool—heavy oak, big tannins, and the pursuit of high scores—leaving just vivid fresh fruit and suave tannins in a radically drinkable expression of this pedigreed terroir. This is Pomerol like we've never seen before: delicious, unpretentious, with its hair let down and the amp turned up. Decant it if you've got time, then pour yourself a glass and move to the rhythm."
