Mark and I agreed to meet up at Classic this afternoon for some quick wine drinking, but it eventually turned in to a small wine gathering! Wine is great, but sharing it with others is so enjoyable.

Funny thing about this wine is we have no idea who opened it. Didn't necessarily fit the theme of what we were drinking, but turning down free wine isn't in my blood! Very simple. Not complex at all. Reminded me of Welch's grape juice, BUT, that was due to the Bordeaux's we were drinking and after some time, this became a decent, quaffable drinker. Lots of dark fruits and a ridiculous amount of Oak.

Great wine for an inexpensive price. Medium bodied with a bit of a bite. Fruit forward with medium tannins and dry finish. Very impressed :)
