A 2005 Bordeaux with richness and opulence for under $20. Chateau des Capucins in the prestigious Right Bank appellation of Lalande de Pomerol is run by three generations of Bordelaise. The outstanding 2005 vintage truly shines in these Right Bank wines. The vineyards are graced with gravelly soils and the vines average 30 years old. The blend is 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc that's fermented slowly for up to 25 days....
