Hauts lagarde Bordeaux red organic 2022

Hauts Lagarde brings us this dry red wine from France, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc from the 2022 vintage. A quick word on the grape: Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the world's most planted red grapes, prized for its deep color, firm tannins and dark-fruit flavors of blackcurrant and plum, often with notes of cedar and tobacco. Merlot comes along for the ride as well — a widely grown red grape valued for its soft, supple texture and approachable plum and black-cherry fruit, making it one of the most easy-drinking reds. It comes from Bordeaux, the historic French region that defined the world's great Cabernet–Merlot blends. The grapes are grown organically, too. It loves rich, meaty food — think grilled red meat, braises and a wedge of aged cheese. Serve it at cool room temperature.
