Leave open two hours before consuming. This wine is unusual. Although it is described as a Bordeaux blend, it tastes nothing like Bordeaux or even Malbec (its predominant grape). Instead, it’s a light red wine with an acidic finish. This wine reminds me of Alicante Bouschet or some of the Southern Italian reds. Interesting but not excellent.
