As with many "left bank" Bordeaux, Merlot is dominant (90%) along with a little seasoning of Cabernet Franc (10%)
This is a fresh, dry, light (to maybe medium) bodied wine with gentle tannins.
In the glass the wine displays a deep black cherry color core moving to a narrow, dark pink rim. On the nose there is a fleeting light intensity of vanilla with elusive and very slight hints of cinnamon spice and black cherry fruit. On the palate the wine is dry with a low level of tannins that offer just enough to give the wine some structure. The acidity is mouth-watering and pleasant. The flavor is a light to medium intensity of black cherry fruit. The finish is clean and short to medium with lingering black cherry on the back end.
Wine & Food: Serve between 55F and 60F. This would pair with soft cheeses such as Camembert, Brie and try Roquefort. Enjoy with Barbecue, and Lamb, Veal or a beef dishes seasoned with fresh herbs.
Approximate Retail Price: US$15.00
