92% Merlot, 5% Cab Franc, 3% Malbec. Paired very nicely with the salumi plate. Didn't have time for decanting and was still a perfect match. Strawberries, kirsch, blackberries, soft tannins, medium finish. The bouquet was a positive sign of things to come. Impressive for $10. This was not a typical low-end Bordeaux pencil-lead fest with just a smidgen of cassis. This was a delicious, balanced wine. Will buy again. Costco.
