Sweet, ripe, Merlot based. Fantastic for California drinker.

Extremely good in all aspects, a French wine that defines French; 65% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Malbec….

Nice dark color. Nose: earthy (earthworm!), something distinctly plant like or vegetal, almost a little seaweed (?), chlorine (???!?), soft cheese / ammonia - herbs - light/bright wood - a little currant. Taste: good! Good mouthfeel, nice drying tannins, dark skinned berries, herbs, all comes together in a nice weighty way. 90! Great deal for $11 on sale, $10 after discount! Definitely need to buy more. EDIT: wife strongly dislikes it, she says it tastes and smells “like a cheap hotel pool.” I know what flavor(s) she is talking about (the chlorine/earth/soft cheese element), but it worked for me. YMMV.

For the price, it’s hard to beat this Bordeaux. Earthy notes and deep fruit but not overpowering and so great as a table wine but also passes for drinkability in its own merit.
