Most people are intimidated by Bordeaux's reputation for fine, sophisticated, and expensive wines. This is not the case. Château Auguste Bordeaux Rouge is approachable and exquisite in the whole sense of the word. Well-balanced, well-structured, and rich with soft, fresh black fruit and soft integrated tannins, this wine has aromas and flavors of blackberry, blueberry, dark plum, black cherry, licorice, and cedar, with a persistent finish. Merlot is the dominant grape and Cabernet Sauvignon plays a supporting role, adding a little complexity to this great wine. This is a magnificent steak wine.
