So we are at Binny's Liquor Depot on Sunday picking up some beer for our Labour Day excursion to my parents' lake home, when I saw a bottle of Le Clos Millesime marked down from $7.99 to $5.99 so I though, huh, French wine for 6 bucks, can't go wrong with that. Wrong.
This liquid (it hardly qualifies as a beverage) is a blend of fermented grape juices of the following varieties: Merlot 45%, Cab Sauv 15%, Carignan 20%, and Grenache 20%. And fermented grape juice it was, although very pleasing to the nose, it was disturbing to the palate. Barely drinkable I found it to be void of any complexity or flavour. Sour and Sharp are the only two suitable adjectives that come to mind to describe this swill. Taste 1 (only because I'm not using 0), Value 1 (again no 0). Do not buy this wine, take your six buck and get yourself a bottle of Columbia Crest Two Vines.
