Sainte Croix Syrah-Merlot 2011

This may be 50/50 Syrah-Merlot from France, but I feel more like 80/20 (yum over not-yum).

I liked this wine. Normally I do not care for French wine outside of France. It is almost as if they keep the good stuff in France and send the second tier sludge to the filthy Americans. I recall buying a €4 bottle in Paris that was leaps ahead of the $20 bottle I bought at BevMo. Though the conversion rate probably works out the same, still French wine from France=yum, not=not.

Bottom line: Drink it. Wear a beret. French kiss a friend.
