From: Entre-deux-Mers, Bordeaux, France
Varietal: 68% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, 2% Malbec
Taste: You’ll find notes of blackberry, dark cherry, cedar, and black pepper in this fabulous everyday red. It shows the purity, finesse, and elegance of the vintage beautifully yet backs it up with density, concentration, and depth, revealing a stunning nose of red and black currants, tobacco leaf, new saddle leather, and spring flowers, with perfect ripeness and balance.
Pairing: You could easily pair this with homemade smash burgers, weekend BBQ, weeknight NY strip steaks, or easy roasts or braises. Other successful pairings include dishes like Portobello ‘Steak’ au Poivre, roasted beef tenderloin, roast leg of lamb (check it out below), pomegranate-glazed meatballs, beef pot pie, and beef skewers.

The vineyards rest on a natural amphitheater, soaking up the sun to achieve peak balance and maturity. The grapes are hand-harvested and aged in barrels, with about 30% new barrels. This yields a silky and expressive terroir Bordeaux that can compete with the finest in the region.) in St. Emilion.
