Some of the finest wines in the world are blended reds. The blending process brings out the best in its components. The most well known blends are modelled on those of the Bordeaux region in France where Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are blended with Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Petit Verdot to create the ultimate wine for maturation. Best enjoyed with roasted or grilled beef or lamb.
