Winemaker Notes
Intense color, shiny ruby reflections. Aromas of red and black fruit. Ripe and concentrated tannins Complex and sophisticated wine, well balanced throughout the tasting. Generous volume, full bodied and rich and elegant taste. The tasting reflects the expression of the terroir and the quality of the grapes.
Pairs perfectly with pasta or meat risotto, herb crusted pork and roasted red meats.

Sweet berry and floral aromas follow through to a medium body with nicely integrated tannins and a deliciously juicy finish.
In most of France, wines are named by their place of origin and not by the type of grape (with the exception of Alsace). Just like a red Burgundy is by law, always made of Pinot noir, a red Bordeaux is a blended wine composed mainly of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Depending on the laws of the village from which the grapes come, the conditions of the vintage and decisions of the winemaker, the blend can be further supported by Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Petit Verdot and in rare cases, Carmenere. So popular and repeated has this mix of grape varieties become worldwide, that the term, Bordeaux Blend, refers to a wine blended in this style, regardless of origin.
