Variety: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc
Region: Bordeaux
Country: France
Year: 2014
Price: €5.87
Winery Review: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc; the 3 most emblematic varieties of the appellation Bordeaux, assembled to a surprising Malesan red! Malesan red is aged in oak barrels for six months, giving it time to work its intensity and tannins. A dress with a deep red, with beautiful garnet. A fragrant nose, fruity aromas sustained by a thin and discreet woodwork. A mouth, soft, fruity and slightly vanilla. Perfect on stews, red meats such as duck breast ... Without forgetting the cheeses and chocolate desserts.

My Review: Since I was in France I had to try the local flare. This Bordeaux was cheap and such a pleasant experience. The nose was earthy with hints of mushrooms, blackberries, and licorice. The taste also had some earthy tones with hints of dark berries and a bit spicy which comes from the Cab Franc. It was super smooth with an easy finish. This was great little wine and a quality find. This would pair well with some mature cheese.
