Boutinot 3 French Hens Merlot-Mourvedre, France

2020 - Forward aromas of baking spices, fall leaves give way to black plums, baked cherry pie, red currant with dusty cocoa notes. A pleasant medium weight to the palate with a core of black red fruits and dry finish followed by a nice grip of tannins. Either if you're yodeling holiday tunes or pulling up for that holiday feast, this wine pairs well with a charcuterie platter, roast beast in all the trimmings, or venison & mushrooms in the slow cooker.--Finn
