Lyeth Fleur De Lyeth 2010 (About $12)

About the Wine:  I have written about red blends before.  They are a huge part of the past, present, and future of red wine.
About THIS Wine:  This wine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Malbec.  The nose is pleasantly fruity with the smell of red berries and has hints of spice.  The fruitiness continues in a remarkably smooth palate finishing with soft tannins.
Drinking this Wine:  This is an excellent sipping wine.  The smoothness of the palate and mildness of the finish make for a drinking experience that does not require food to moderate the taste.  That said, this wine would go very well with lamb.
Overall Impression:  Fleur De Lyeth is not overly bold but neither is it very weak.  At twelve dollars a bottle it is good for the price.
