FRENCH BLUE BORDEAUX RG 19

Putting an American twist on Bordeaux wine, French Blue makes the wines of Bordeaux accessible for all with deliciously intriguing still and sparkling offerings. In 2015, American winemaker Stephanie Rivin set out to explore the famed vineyards and proudly honor the terroir and traditions of the region, all while bringing her own fresh perspective and approach. Working with vignerons in Bordeaux’s largest growing region of Entre-Deux-Mers, Stephanie crafts wines that are bright, fruity and versatile, inspired by leisurely picnics, everyday adventures and low-key yet delightful family meals. French Blue is all about enjoying life with friends, family, food and great wine – or as the French say – living the joie de vivre (“joy of life”). With exceptional quality and an unmistakable lighthearted personality, the wines capture all the romance and magic of France.

Tasting Notes:
It is brilliant, deep ruby red in color with intense aromatics that display fragrance of ripe red fruits, think black currants and cherries. The Cabernet gives this wine a sturdy framework in which the Merlot can show off its plump fruit character and abundance of spice…and just a kiss of sweet vanilla owing to the oak barrel ageing. _x001f_ On the palate, this medium-bodied wine offers rich,deep structure, elegant tannins and a soft, lingering finish.
