To our valued customer,
I was fortunate to spend quite a lot of time in France, and in my travels when ordering a wine, even an inexpensive house wine in a restaurant or small cafe in France, the wine was always a pleasant, enjoyable experience.
One reason it is difficult to get such pleasant wines in the United States is that the wines here get "cooked" somewhere along the way; either on docks, in trucks or sitting in the heat and sun for months in liquor stores.We all know that wine is a living, breathing entity that needs special care; yet most merchants say it's too expensive to ship and store wine in a temperature-controlled environment.
"Very full bodied and densely packed with minted black berry flavors, the rich fruit is well supported by medium to firm rounded tannins and enlivening acid, finishing long with some oak poking through. Drinking well now, it should keep to 2016+"
