I agree with the other note that this is not as good as the 2011. However, it is a very worthy Bordeaux from a good vintner. I had the fortune of meeting the winemaker and his lovely wife when they were at the Total Wine in Springfield, VA on Sunday, April 19, 2015 after drinking their wines for a decade or so. I'm finding I like this producers wines at a young age and not sure of the age potential. 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc. Paid about $12 with tax.

Not as good as the 2011. Maybe that's why TW has it on sale for 7.99 right now. The tannins leave an off taste. Hopefully it will be resolved with a little cellar time.

Light, juicy, and fresh. A bistro style red likely to pair well with a range of foods.

No off-taste noted in this bottle.
The wine is somewhat earthy on the palate.
Easy drinking with a chicken burrito dinner.
