TODAY'S FEATURED WINE

As always, SavvyTaste.Com has my full description and opinion of this wine: Lewis Perdue's Rating of Chandelle Winery : Red Blend: North Coast-California: Sortie: 2008: United States

Light and Well balanced right out of the bottle. But after it opens up it offers big fruit and gutsy tannins. The opened bottle remained very tasty and enjoyable the next day.
