Cuvée Sarah – 2020; Château Petit-Freylon; Coirac, France

At under $15, this Bordeaux Blend is a decent go to wine for value and good taste. A blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot, notes of blackberry and plums shine through along with some dark cherries. The color when pouring looks intense, too. It is dry, fruity, full-bodied and well balanced. You will note some earthiness and smoke along with a touch of leather as you sip and repeat, while enjoying the lovely melding of flavors in this beauty - proof that price point is never an indication of wine quality.  Do not be afraid to give this wine a try, it proves you never know what interesting new wines you might discover at your local wine merchant. Santé!
