Supérieur Red Bordeaux Blend

Simple and very agreeable basic Right Bank Bordeaux. 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc. For the area it’s a high percentage of cab sauvignon giving black cherry, plum and soft leather notes. Soft tannins, some forest floor on the finish. Already drinking well- no reason to cellar, enjoy it now.

Label sets expectations too high for what's inside

This wine needed to breathe for about 60 min (or more) before enjoying. Color and flavor darken with time. Soft tannins and light berry flavor. Paired well with seared salmon with fig glaze and Greek orzo salad.

Medium ruby color.
Aromas of cherry
Dry. Flavors of cherry, cassis, herbaceous.

Intensity: 4/5
Complexity: 2/5
Balance: 3/5
Finish: 3/5

From Wegmans and good, about $15

Great for price

Less full bodied than expected from a right brank… but feels like something you could drink all night!

Much needed during a 2 hour IT connection testing meeting at 8 o’clock at night

Juicy, slightly sweet, jammy red full of body and flavor

This is a young affordable and very enjoyable Bordeaux blend (Merlot-Cabernet Sauvignon) that needs air to open up. Two hours in decanter will pay-off—crunchy red fruit, medium tannin and excellent acidity, perfect for charcuterie board or tomato sauce pizza.
