Discover the beauty that each individual grape brings to a Bordeaux blend and then the magic the varietals create when they’re together. Merlot is the primary grape in right bank Bordeaux blends and adds smooth texture and dark fruit—experience its elegance on its own with the Napa Station from Napa Valley. Malbec, known as Côt in France, brings power—love the grape with the elegant Watermill from Walla Walla, Washington. Petite Verdot is the tannin and spice in the blend—savor it at its best with the exceptionally balanced Gilbert from Columbia Valley, Washington. Cabernet Sauvignon dominates in right bank Bordeaux blends—savor the most popular varietal in the world with the brilliant Hanna from Sonoma County. 
 
Finish your flight with two exciting examples of how the last four wines bring out the best in each other when combined with the rich and lingering Glen Carlou from Paarl, South Africa and the deep and concentrated Seabiscuit Ranch from Mendocino County, California. 
 
What do you think? Are these wines proof that the whole is tastier than the sum of its parts?
