Bold Bordeaux











Hello Wine Lovers!

Now that the excitement of the Bears is over and everyone has drowned their disappointment and their tears in their favorite beverage of choice... lets talk about a super buy on a French Bordeaux from Chateau Roc de Levraut! This wine sells for, are you ready for this, $5.99 at the Wine Discount Center! Let's face it, if you don't like it, just pour it in your car's windshield fluid container and call it a day! This is a classic example of a French Bordeaux with a blend of 50% Cabernet, 40% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. You will find it earthy with flavors of cassis and blackberry with just a hint of tobacco notes and a slightly tannic finish with just enough oak to keep it interesting. I purchased this wine with no real big expectations but I figured if it was good enough to write about on this blog I would do so. Twenty minutes later... I was blown away! This will not be your best wine of the year, but it certainly can';t be beat for the money!

Until next time...Drink More Wine!
Cheers!
