I was debating with myself as to whether or not I should put this under "Stan’s Picks" or "Hot Wine Deals". It is a close call and could go either way. For now I will select it as a hot deal. This wine is incredible for the price. Since wine is made from grapes, it is nice to find one that actually tastes like pure grape juice. Marselan is a hybrid grape that was derived from a cross between Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon. Up to this time I had never really paid attention to this varietal. I wish that I had because this was a pleasant surprise. The wine shows nice round boysenberry, dark plum and creamy oak tones with that nice earthiness that comes out of many of the french wines. Not too gutsy but robust enough to satisfy those who like a heartier wine, yet fruit forward enough to satisfy those who like to enjoy a glass of wine all by itself. It never ceases to amaze me when I find a wine of this quality for a mere ten bucks. This is worth every penny and a lot more. For me this would make a great everyday red. Enjoy!!
