Chateau Puygueraud 2008 Francs - Cotes de Bordeaux

This wine is made with 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc and the rest Malbec. Wine packs a fair amount of power and depth, more so than many from the 2008 vintage. Black cherry, plum, graphite, tobacco, spice and anise notes fill both nose and palate. Somewhat tannic for a wine with this much Merlot in the blend, but not overly so. Good balance and length with nice earth and toasty tones on the finish. $19.99
