Les Hauts de Lagarde Rouge is an fun and accessible Bordeaux, a blend of 65% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Cabernet Franc. It has aromas of charred nuts, black currant, and clay, with a satiny palate that leads to a crisp, dryish medium body and flavors of cooked currant, cherries, nuts, and earth finish with woody, tannins. A fun earthy French red for the table, pair with brisket or manchego.
