Bordeaux, France
Nice ruddy red color. Aroma of berries, cherries, animal lather, cow leather, and fresh cut hardwood. Flavor is excellent. Juicy with some slate and a hint of bitterness like apple seeds. Clean and sleek. Plenty of snappy tannins on the backend. A good value Bordeaux that checks most of the expected boxes.

Pop and pour through an aerator.
Nice dark purplish color.
Nose: blackberry and mulberry, jam. Savoury herbs. A little caramel. Mint.
Taste: simple, less fruit and more herbs than the smell implied. Tongue-drying tannin, a little bitter. Medium weight. More of a food wine I think -I like a little more fruit, but pretty good for $8. 87.

Juicy, a bit of oak, nice flavor but balance is off a bit somehow. Might buy again, just not as a go-to

Dec 11th, 202160% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc. These three varietals are in perfect balance with silky tannins and a warm and pleasant finish.
