Tasting - Ch des Arnauds

Name: Ch des Arnauds
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot
Region: Les Caprices d’Anaïs Bodeaux
Country: France
Year: 2017
Price: $13
Winery review: "Medium pink salmon. Reticent nose of minerals, flowers, and a hint of red berries. Savory, serious, and spicy in the mouth with minerals and red currants showing. A 50/50 blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon from 30+ year old vines. This is a serious, food wine with a good backbone."
My review: This wine gave off a fruit or flowery smell which is the first wine to give me much scent off of it other than the wine smell. At first it tasted of honey dew and was a light wine that I could possibly drink. I then tried sucking in air over the wine and it pulled out far more flavor. There was some kind of floral taste there and it became far more dry. This was the first dry wine that I can say that I enjoyed. I didn't end up buying it but it was pleasant for wine.

This was tried by itself with no food.
