Ruby color. Aromas and flavors of chocolate mousse with raspberries, spiced Brazil nuts, and smoked deli meats with an vibrant, dry-yet-fruity full body and a complex, long finish that presents touches of smoked peppercorns, blackberry coulis, and cacao nibs. A seamless and supple French red blend with deftly integrated fruit, oak, and minerality; this will be versatile as a sipper or at the table.

Other French Red

Serve in a Zinfandel Wine Glass

Other French reds include inexpensive Vin de Pays d'Oc, so-called country wines, simple Bordeaux Superieur and Medoc reds; these last two made from grapes such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The Vin de Pays d'Oc wines sometimes have clever names based on animals to help get noticed on retails shelves, given their humble roots. Pair these wines with sandwiches, paté and light chicken dishes; some of these lighter reds can even be chilled.
