Will the pure-bred wine please stand up.

Chuck, don't take this for gospel, but winemakers blend wines for complexity and added characteristics. As an example, Cab Franc is blended into Cab Sauv to add a floral bouquet, and Merlot is blended in to add softness. The blend is more pleasing to the senses overall, unless you have lost all of your senses like many of us old far-- on this board. [img]http://forum.wines.com/ubb2/biggrin.gif[/img]
