Merge/Founded in 1997 by vintner und marketing genius Baron Philippe de Rothschild using French Bordeaux vine stocks, a blend of Chilean terrior with classic French technique, in an otherwise low price wine, except for the absolute stand up quality of e balanced wine product. Soft Cab & Merlot respectability in a inexpensive product from 11,200 acres of heaven in the Maipo Valley, Chile. A winery founded in 1883, along with a history of some 500 years of vinification in Chile and almost 3,000 generations of vintner's art and history of France, is terrior merge with magical craft by Baron Rothschild. Yeah, ist low price, yes, but don't confuse relating that to the product in this 1.5L bottle at $10.99 U.S. Very respectable and many times unflinchingly served this to anyone, it is classic Haut Medoc, Bordeaux, or Pauillac, et al, a solid monobloc of French Bordeaux with dusty attic French airs, deep full weight blackened plum solid Cab-Merlot blend, soft lingering finish. Ja, maybe too one dimensional, no highpoint spice notes, nah, but so many Medocs really are that way, and that is expected and what they are. Practical and honest as can be is this.
