Is this a value-tier #bordeaux blend cashing in on the famous Lafite Rothschild name that’s a big step down from their top-tier offerings? Sure, but it’s still a good food-friendly red wine. Nose features a bit reserved blackberry and raspberry fruit, some earthy notes. Clocking in at 12% ABV, it’s medium-bodied on the palate, slightly more fruit forward than most Bordeaux, tobacco notes and lush acidity ending in soft tannins.The moderate alcohol and, mild tannins and tartness make it a great wine to pair with pizza without heavy toppings. Solid QPR for ~$13.
