2005 Bordeaux Cabs, Beverages and More, $8.99

Picked this one up at Beverages and More for $8.99, I think.

It’s quite nice. It’s a French negociant wine and it’s half Cabernet Sauvignon and half Cabernet Franc. This is the best daily wine that I’ve had since… well, since all those under-two Euro wines in Spain. This is just what you want for a cold February night with your roommate over lamb shawerma.

This wine is dry and weighty, not terribly complex, but not a fruit-bomb. The tannins aren’t overpowering, but add depth over the minimal cherry and eucalyptus notes.

Check it out. You won’t be disappointed. This is one to buy a case of and keep around for anything. It would go well with lamb, roast chicken, Indian food, or just about anything. Enjoy it.
