2008 Apothic Red, California (G's Tasting Series)

The last couple posts have seen some extraordinary/pricey wines however this wine will not damage the credit score!

2008 Apothic Red, California
consumed Sunday January 2, 2011, with family/love, Retail $9.99

A wine that won't break the bank and will please the palate.  The wine is big fruit.  The wine itself is a blend of Zinfandel, Syrah, and Merlot, the first two I love.  The Merlot simply rounded it out nicely.  Red fruit and a little chocolate on the nose with a nice bright cherry down the guzzler and that's what you are getting with this one.  The wine was also well balanced and enjoyable to drink.  Again, a nice easy going wine for any budget.  The wine really surprised me for a cost of 10 bucks.
