Tuesday evening and the wine I have chosen tonight is the 2015 Château Franc Mayne St. Emilion. I picked this wine up last week and wanted to try it last week but things came up that I had to attend to. This wine is 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernat Franc, a very typical Right Bank Bordeaux.

On the nose there a notes of black cherry, blackberry, ripe plum, black currant charred oak and wet gravel.

On the palate are beautiful notes of, black cherry, blackberry, boysenberry, black currant, bell pepper and wet crushed rock.

This is a complex medium to full bodied wine with medium acidity and mesium+ fine mouth coating tannins that leads to a long fresh dark fruit finish. A beautiful week is ahead and we ha a lot of people that won't know what to do with themselves. Have a wonderful week ahead, just remember to keep yourselves safe. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷
