Chateau de Ribebon Bordeaux Supérior 2009 (about $15)



About the Wine:  Bordeaux is a region in France known for its wine blends.  Red Bordeaux wines are blends of primarily either Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot along with some combination of Malbec, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc. 

About THIS Wine: The center is violet and it fades to a pink rim.  The nose is much thicker and heavier than I would have expected with layers of jammy cherry, raspberry, and nutmeg.  The palate delivers with rich, red fruit and supple tannins before easing into a finish of light raspberry.

Drinking This Wine:  This would be great for a sipping wine but would also pair well with lighter red meat dishes such as beef and noodles.

Overall Impression:  The wine is good and versatile.  This is a good value.
