Paul Bosc has been making this red blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc since 1998 but only in fine vintages. It sounds pricey at $40 a bottle, but it has the quality and flavour of a French wine at twice the price. If you like red Bordeaux, this is the wine for you. Floral and spicy on the nose, it’s rich on the palate with cassis and dark chocolate flavours that finish dry and savoury. Food match: rack of lamb, filet mignon. Available at winery or winerytohome.com.
