Cuvée Viva Premières Côtes de Blaye Red Bordeaux Blend

Tart black cherry and blackberries dominate. Ruby red with dry tannins on the finish.

Another find in the cellar. Simple and delicious. A little aging helped

Affordable bordeaux

Thoroughly decent hamburger wine. Black and blue fruits, cedar, balance, some acidity and decent length. The 2009.

Amazing nose reminiscent of Christmas. Blackberry, clove and olive hit the palate with grace, and the mineral finish lingers. Strong tannins hold up well; still a bit young. Terrific quality for $20. Stock up.

Nice fruity nose to start, some blueberry, pretty dry on the palate, sour cherry, paper. Wouldn't necessarily go for it again.

$187

Very good bargain bordeaux. Great fruit & character.
