Château Bellevue
Red Bordeaux Blend

Deep Ruby, mostly Merlot blend, with simple aromas of red berry fruits and woody pepper spice. On the palate black fruits spicy notes. Lively acidity, firm tight woody tannins, short finish. Just ok! Drink now!!

On the hunt for a table wine to serve to at a party of pretentious seniors with undiscriminating pallets. This bottle gets high marks for it's seemingly respectable label design. It's not thin either, but the green/stemmy taste never abates.

Light ruby in color throughout, with light intensity.
Nice aromatic nose of violets, blueberries, plums, raspberries, wood, light vanilla, licorice, earth, alcohol, spices, forest floor, smoke, light vegetables, chocolates and peppercorn.
Medium bodied with high acidity and nice legs.
Dry on the palate with plums, sour strawberries, raspberries, pomegranates, earth, leather, pencil lead, bell pepper and black pepper.
Short finish with light, round tannins and tangy cranberries.
This is a nice food wine from Bordeaux. Unbalanced and simple, but drinkable.
Gets earthier after an hour in a decanter, with lots of earth and vegetable notes.
Not my style, but not expensive, either. Good everyday wine with dinner. I liked the nose better than the palate.
A blend of 65% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc.
I paired it with hard cheeses, nuts and dried fruits.
12% alcohol by volume.

Medium Ruby. Nose not giving a lot. Some blackcurrant, oak spice and green notes. On palate medium bodied with black fruits and light oak influence. An acceptable wine and excellent value at $9.99. Drink now.

Jul 19th, 2016Light red in color with a pink rim.
Not so pleasant on the nose, with red currants, strawberries, cherries, barnyard, peppercorn, metals and minerals.
Light bodied and Very harsh on the palate, with sour cherries, strawberries, plums, oak, licorice, oak and white pepper.
Long, tart finish with green tannins and white pepper.
Tart, unbalanced and unattractive. Might be better in a couple of years. Definitely a food wine and not to be had by itself.

This was okay - not great. Not sure I would get it again.
