---|---|---|---|---|
Varietal | Cabernet Sauvignon & Merlot | |||
Region | France: Bordeaux - Medoc | |||
Notes | "Attractive violets and redcurrants with darker forest berries and graphite, too. The palate has a lithe and plush red-fruit core. Vibrant berries abound. Good wine." (James Suckling) "This generous wine comes from a 239-acre property. It has weight, layers of black-currant flavors balanced by rich tannins and juicy acidity. The fruitiness is intense, given essential freshness by the crisp aftertaste." (Wine Enthusiast) | |||
Additional Notes "The 2016 Château Blaignan is a well-built red that delivers nicely. This wine shines with aromas and flavors of black cherries and cassis, as well as hints of earth savory spices and oak. Pair it with a grilled, well-marbled ribeye." (Wilfred Wong, wine.com) |
