Maison Barboulot
La Comptine Cabernet - Syrah Blend
$6 at Trader Joe's Long Beach. Very nice for the price.
Aroma: bakers chocolate and cherry skin.
Flavor: Nice earthiness with a tart cherry and cacao finish.
Mouthfeel: nice body and dry. Doesn't linger on the palate.
Overall: Very nice to just sip on or pair with a steak. Definitely an above average wine at the price point.

Case alert! Full-bodied, vibrant, and bursting with flavor. BlackBerry, chocolate, cassis, and a long, loamy finish. A crowd pleaser for sure and enough interest for the oenophile. Drinks at 4-5x the price. Other than TJ’s Pontificis there is no other better value out there. Nobody would believe it was under $10.

Jul 2nd, 2020Lovely fruit on the nose with a slight touch of heat. Lighter than we expected, slightly dry, with red fruit. This isn't fine wine, but it's very approachable and a great deal at $10.
