This sexy, round, luscious Cotes de Castillon, an appellation that seems to produce more than its fair share of good value, high quality wines, is a blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc. With supple tannins, sweet herb and licorice-infused red and black currant fruit, medium body, and a silky, lush finish, this hedonistic 2006 will provide plenty of pleasure over the next 3-4 years.
