Natalie's Score: 89/100

Lots of toasty oak and hickory smoke on the nose of this robust, rustic red wine. This Cabernet blend from Bordeaux is well-priced. It gets a bit thinner on the palate than the nose would lead you to believe but is nonetheless good value.

Food pairings: hearty meat dishes, barbecued chicken, char-grilled lamb.

Reviews and Ratings

L.J. Palmer WSET 3 rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Wine is deep purple in colour, dry, medium bodied, medium plus acidity and medium tannin that is a bit grippy. Nose is pronounced and features black currant, leather and mushrooms. Tastes are black currant/cassis with some leather. Tasted very good with beef cooked with plenty of mushrooms. I let the wine breathe an hour or so and the tannins relaxed their grip somewhat. A very pleasant wine; may be better with food but I enjoyed it on its own as well. Finish is medium length, black currant and leather. I very much enjoyed the scent and flavour of black currant in this wine. For reference this wine is a blend of 60% cabernet sauvignon with 40% merlot.

Gwen Barton rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Intense coloured wine. Complex nose of cherry, blackberry and earthy notes. Spicy, smokey taste, well balanced with nice finish. Few years cellared would add much to this lovely wine.

Sylvain Segard rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Deep ruby colour. Aromas of stewed cherries, prunes, mint, and a hint of green stem and wood smoke. The medium tannins are still quite young. The mouthfeel is fairly light and the fruits are quite juicy, with a finish of sour cherries. Give this wine a few more years to mellow and round out. Score 87. (S.Segard, reviewed Feb. 24, 2017)

This robust Bordeaux red wine blend is 60/40 Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes. Viticulture dates back to the 14th century at Chateau Blaignan. The vineyard is located in the northern part of the Medoc region of Bordeaux and is planted with 60% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes and 40% Merlot. There is good acidity on this wine and tannins are velvety. - Community Wine Reviews
