The Cotes de Bourg are in the northern part of the Bordeaux region, across the estuary from the better known Medoc. The wines from there have a reputation of having more of an up front fruit flavor than the more austere Medocs, but that's not the case with this red. If you allow it to breathe for at least an hour it delivers a nicely subdued element of plum and blackberry, with soft tannins and a hint of pepper at the finish. A very nice wine, but I suspect that it has reached its peak, so drink it now. A good buy at $10.99.

Compared to the surrounding states and Internet it is a very nice buy at $10.99 but I suspect it good thru 2014. PA plcb was under GOP control for so long and now that it it is being run properly they want corruption back. PA is finally in the 21st century about wine and how to retail it.
