16/10/2016 – Sous le Soleil Cabernet Merlot 2015

(2016) In many ways an archetypal mid-week wine, creamy and fruity enough for sipping on its own, with enough rustic chunkiness to match a broad range of dishes. A blend of Bordeaux's Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, but from the Languedoc region in the south of France, it has bold cherry and black berries, a touch of cream and spices, and a balance finish. Not special, but useful at its price (and look out for offers, which are quite common on wines like this). Watch the video for more information and food-matching suggestions.
