A great year to bland some grape, and this one is made with Merlot, Gamay, Syrah and the big Cabs: Sauvignon and Franc ... there's spiced raspberry with black currants, cherry and smoky notes while on the finish you'll find white pepper and strawberry. Soft and supple across the tongue this is a fun little blend of grapes that gives us a fun little wine for summertime drinking. Price: $17.95 - Rating: *** 1/2+
