Smokey finish
In the affordable Bordeaux category, this one has some interesting characteristics and stands out because of that. With a smokey quality that is different than most, it's worth taking a look at.
I can't say that it's my favorite style, but it is unique and seems to be well made. The store price was $13 on a recent trip to one of the best wine shops in the country- Table & Vine in Northhampton, MA. Their selection of moderately priced wines is endless, including their $10-20 Bordeaux. I see this label in other stores around New England, so it's likely you'll find it in various locations nationally. Raise a glass!
