2010 Chateau Chantemerle Bordeaux

How many times do you come across a decent Bordeaux for $7?   My answer is: "rarely, if not almost never".   I had to use "almost" because of this 2010 Chateau Chantemerle. Costco's buyers found a very decent merlot-based wine that quite nicely pairs with most foods.  You don't want to drink this alone -- it is an accompaniment wine.

A combination of 65% merlot, 25% cab and 10% cab franc, this is a wine that you'd expect to drink in a French bistro with your meal.   It is both tannic and fruity with a dominant flavor of black currant.    There's enough acidity to complement the food but with a smooth aftertaste.   I drank this wine over three days and found the second and third days superior to the first, so feel free to decant this wine or nurse it slowly over a few days.  Bon Appetit.
