Château Les Cabannes
St. Émilion Grand Cru
St. Émilion, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
Blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc.
Color: light Burgundy red that looks like the juice of forest floor fruits, like red currants. Reminds me of a Christmas red. It glows like a warm Christmas light.
Aroma: smells rich and fruity like it has money. Spice fruit like a mulled wine but not the same spices. Smells like red currants, black currants, cherry, deep red berry like fruits. It's a savory fruity like what you would find in a sauce to accompany a roast not a dessert. It reminds me of something with a holiday meal by the fire.
Taste: smooth and light with a creamyish texture. It's light to medium body. Not creamy in taste. It very little acid. It's very rounded flavor, not one fruit note pops out much. It reminds me slightly of cooking fruits in a sauce, like black currants. The taste slightly lingers after swallowing but gently. Slightly bitter taste like I'm ready for a meal.
It's something I would have with a lovely roast dinner at home by the fire. Its warm, smooth, and light that i could drink it on its own. But its also, has enough heft to stand up to gravy I feel. It's delicious. A winter wine.

I've become a huge Bordeaux fan and the lovely fruit notes radiate once poured! Blueberry, raspberry and cherry, cherry, cherry with the perfect amount of acid thanks to the Cab Franc grapes. This right bank Bordeaux that's a blend of Merlot & Cab Franc is so easy to drink, soft tannins, and a creamy finish with light notes of vanilla and cinnamon after the beautiful fruity flavors that dance on your tongue!
