Château des Tourtes 2014 Prestige (Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux)

Country: France / Prestige
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Bordeaux
Winery: Château des Tourtes / Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux

From a 17-acre Merlot-dominated vineyard, this is a dry wine, where the tannins dominate the fruit. The wine has a bitter edge from too much extraction. The hints of fruit are not quite enough.
