2020 Château Vieux Lescours Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

From: Saint-Emilion, Bordeaux, FranceBlend: 70 % Merlot, 25 % Cabernet Franc, 5 % Cabernet Sauvignon Taste: This wine has a medium ruby color and a range of seductive aromas, showing an array of rich red fruits like red cherry, red plum, and blackberry embraced by notes of clove, tobacco flower, and warmed leather—subtle hints of violet buoy these core tones and further accented with spice and cedar.
