Derivative Red Blend

Rich and extracted just as I remembered. Tastes like it should cost twice what I paid.

Effusive red fruits and tobacco. Soft and elegant raspberries and Rainier cherries. Best of all, it's one of the least expensive wines they produce.

Okay, another bottle that tastes a bit cooked and a little "off", makes me wonder if I did something that exposed them to heat. I normally like this wine quite a bit, but there's a bitter note and some strange herbal notes I've never noticed before. Striking out this weekend.
