September Wine Review

Christian Moueix

Bordeaux Superieur

Vintage 2005

Price: Under $20

Enrique needed to have Jessica, a good friend of ours, proctor an exam for her final classes at Fuller Seminary. We decided to make a night of it. Jessica and Gabe hosted a beautiful dinner of kabobs, green beans and tomatoes, peppers and onions. They also had this decent bottle of wine. Gabe bought the wine at Beverages and More during a “buy one get another for .05.” It was a nice way to end the school quarter.

Bordeaux is a region in France were this wine is made. It is a table wine with a blend of red grapes. This particular one was 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc.

This particular wine was very light bodied. It was low on tannins and had a great fruity taste. It was also nutty with hints of mocha.  There was hardly any taste of alcohol.  I don’t think that I would ever buy this wine because it wasn’t very balanced. I prefer more full-bodied wines with a mild alcohol aftertaste.

All-in-all it was a good night. I look forward to drinking more wine with them in the future.
