merlot and i just bought this for the first time and it made for an excellent wine to cook into my spaghetti sauce tonight and drink as I enjoyed the mild taste and mellow flavors assisting in my cooking as the sauce was a simple yet delicious staple dinner delight

Prefer right bank grapes over the left bank.

better i think to force the old world to correctly label their wines, by adding the grape varieties used.
