This is one of those Bordeaux blends that is really trying to be something. I really like it but feel that it could use a little time in the bottle to mellow out a bit more. If it really wants to be 'like' a Bordeaux blend it will sit for a few years then be cracked. Great wine for the price. With a blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petite Verdot this wine has an amazing color to it with hues of light ruby on the rim and solid brick-red center. Nose is layered with rich red and black fruit and light hints of dried herbs. On the palate is was dry and had some hard tannins. I'll chalk up the tannins to just being opened. Pretty solid finish. Like I said, wait a few years and this will be amazing.
