Chateau Roc Meynard Bordeaux Superieur
Good structure and grace are the keywords for this delightful wine! With a nose of raspberry, blackberry and on taste turning blackcurrant-redcurrant towards a silky yet classic structure.
Pepper and bay leaf arrive just in time at the finish
BEFORE YOU RUN AWAY!
The wines of St.-Emilion and Pomerol, on Bordeaux's right bank, are based largely on Merlot, but consumers are mostly unaware of this because Bordeaux wineries don't usually list varietals on the label.

Fact, the wine that Miles most treasured in "Sideways," Chateau Cheval Blanc, is a blend of Merlot and another varietal he slams, Cabernet Franc.
The film makers originally wanted Miles' fetish wine to be Chateau Petrus Pomerol, the world's most sought-after (and most expensive) Merlot. "Quite a few film scripts cross my desk and I vaguely recall 'Sideways' asking for permission to use Petrus," Christian Moueix, who runs Chateau Petrus, said by fax. "I am afraid that at that time, I found the script unexciting and declined."
From their website:
The vines are planted on hillsides within a perfect terroir with chalk, clay, and sandy
soils. Aged for 20 months in tank. This is a robust yet elegant and well balanced wine
with a perfect expression of ripe red and black fruits with darker spices. A true value Bordeaux!
90% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc
Food:
Classic: “boeuf Bourguignon" or "coq au vin" (literally chicken cooked in wine)
Nouveau: Bocado’s Bad ASS Burger [1 of my top three in the city]! That way you to can create the famous scene in sideways!
