soft with a palate of somewhat muted leather/cedar plank, and slightly tart mulberry. A Merlot dominated Bordeaux, at ten bucks a decent every day table Bordeaux. with a bit of time in the glass a little Casis is starting to show.

Old world style but without much tannin or complexity. Better after some decant time. Tonight I paired it with cheese and crackers. Nothing special but rather enjoyable for such a low priced wine.

Rather thin for a Bordeaux, but doesn't need much air time before pouring. Easy drinking. Nothing stands out, but the balance is pretty good. Well worth the $5.99 sale price.

Spot on Bordeaux Supererieur. Before I even read the label I knew this was majority Merlot. Also did not realize this was from the Saint Emilion side of the tracks. The color is a relatively clear reddish purple that allows you to see your two fingers. The nose is raspberry meets cotton candy. Solid hit of red fruit across the palate. A bit of a chalky texture. Not complex, but very clean. Balanced. Just wants you to take another sip.

Decent for the price. Light to medium bodied. Raspberries with a dry finish.

Nice fruit up front but lacks mid palate and has a short drying finish.

Thin and acidic. Not much else going on here. I won't buy it again.

Definitely a thin wine. Not much complexity. I will probably pass on this one in the future.

Good but very young Bordeaux that requires several hours to breathe and open up. Patience is rewarded with a very drinkable and well-rounded wine.

Nice thick, smoky red with some fruit later in the taste, we both like this wine and it got better as it warmed and opened.
