France

Just south of Bordeaux, you'll find a lesser-known wine region called Bergerac making Bordeaux-style wines without the Bordeaux price tag. This blend opens with classic black currant notes and cigar box, along with a whiff of smoke. The palate confirms these dark fruits, with just a touch of herbal green and present tannin throughout that reads more serious without being overbearing. A vibrant red that will be welcome on any dinner table. CLASSIC SERIOUS FULL-FRUITED HERBACEOUS CURRANT

A bold red's classic pairing partner is simply beef steak, and for good reason - few things can match the richness of either. We'd recommend reaching for some meat when you choose to pair with this wine, be it a classic ribeye au poivre, a venison filet with a cherry reduction, or a meatier vegetable like a grilled eggplant with plenty of garlic and olive oil.
