Dark ruby with bright pink edges.  Nice mild nose packs an understated punch of bitter delicate light grassy nosed and mineralific cellar-floor brilliance with a little peach-pit and burn.  This isn’t your Tupperware Party Merlot.  Lean and mean in the mouth, rich in oak and leather with backgrounds of thin fruit.  If you’re looking for everyday drinkers with character, Lussac is MONEY. Spice and dark fruit ramps hot tannin, but don’t overthink it, just lie back and enjoy what you’re getting.  And for the price-point, no one’s complaining.
