What to Expect

The classic Bordeaux blends rely on either Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon for the bulk of the wine with additions of Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec helping to add complexity, color, body and structure to the finished wine.

A touch grassy at first but then gaining a bit more of an earthy edge that evolves into a dried floral tone. Fairly nice wild red berry fruit on the nose with a core of grapy and lightly gamy tones. The bright acids in the mouth help to support nice sour berry flavors and the modest, if slightly angular, tannins add volume in the mouth with a salty, mineral tang on the back end that leads to a surprisingly long finish. A very solid table wine with character. 86pts

Nose of dark fruit & some spice. Sour berries & a bit of rhubarb really come through on the palate, with a good balance of oak & tannins. Medium-length finish.

Tasting Notes - Lush tannins, bright fruits and criminally rich - a riot of blackberry, raspberry and black pepper. A break away hit with pizza, pasta and BBQ.

A very popular red blend with loads of fruit and firm acidity. Consistently lovely, this is a great wine for parties: just about everyone loves it.
