Bordeaux Blend Red

Bordeaux Blend Red

A Bordeaux Blend is any combination of those grape varieties typically used to make the red wines of Bordeaux. The phrase, which seems to have originated with British wine merchants in the 19th Century, relates as much to wines made from the blend as to the grape variety combination itself. Red Bordeaux Blends are known for their powerful structure and deep flavors. Berries, plum and blackcurrant are commonly used to describe the flavors of red Bordeaux. Tannins tend to be relatively high in these wines, giving them a firm structure.
