Country: US / Beau Melange
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend California
Winery: Chateau Margene / Paso Robles
With sharp acidity, a hot mouthfeel and rich flavors of cassis liqueur and chocolate-covered raisins, this Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend tastes more like Port than a dry table wine. Lots of new French oak does not restore balance. Drink up.
