Wine of the Day: A Delicious Sub-$10 Treat

Chateau Les Riganes Bordeaux 2016 ($9.99)

Wow, what a pleasure it is to taste a quality wine that actually retails for sub-$10. The nose opens with some earth, mushrooms, and wet wood, but then it morphs into the coolest combination of raspberry candy and black truffles. I love the nose. The mouth is really well composed with stiff notes of cedar box, cigar ash, and raspberries; with mouth coating tannins and a long finish with a grassy quality. This is a real treat at its price point and I thank Royal Wine for making this wine in a quality manner at this price point.

Score: A-

Value: As good as it gets!
