Bordeaux
The standard by which all other red wines are judged. Blended from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot, the wines of Bordeaux are the world longest-lived wines. No other region produces wines of such, power, elegance, finesse and complexity. Bursting with flavors of blackberry, dark cherry, plum and blackcurrant, you can practically taste the soil in which the grapes were grown.
