Red Bicyclette Merlot 2003 (France)

Price - $8.49 Size - 750 mL- Wines of the World Wine Tasting held on Saturday May 14, 2005 at the Powers Liquor Mart in Colorado Springs with Elizabeth Smart of Mountain Wine Distributing.

This wine has heavy legs and is deep red in color. The wine is juicy, jammy, smooth and fruity. Has a big body and the big flavors that go with it. It is clean with a decently dry edge. It has a smooth finish of medium length. Something unique about this wine, it's basically a new world style wine from France. Some American winemakers met with French winemakers to invigorate French wine sales and they created a new world wine with a more simple new world label, as it is difficult unless you know a region in France to read their labels.
