About the Wine: Saint Emilion is a subregion of Bordeaux, one of the classic French appellations. Saint-Emilions can run into dozens or hundreds of dollars in cost, so this could be a very good deal.
About THIS Wine: The center is dark red with a pink rim. The legs run down like maple syrup. Raspberry, dark cherry, cassis, and oak are all present on the nose. Thick, creamy red fruit defines the palate with a dry finish. The wine tastes good now but I expect that a few years in a cellar would do it some good. The price range I deal with doesn't include a lot of age worthy wines but this one is a good candidate.
Drinking This Wine: Too dry and tannic for a sipping wine, this one would do well with roast duck, steak and onions, or lamb.
Overall Impression: Great wine, good price. This one is good for the price.
