2004 / Red Blend
where: Home
comments: Called MINER, and classified as a Napa Valley Red Wine. This was a tasty wine, reminiscent of a French Bordeaux. A hint more alcohol tasting than what I usually like, but very smooth and fruity for a blend like this. Smells of plum and rich grapes. Drank alone, no meal tie in.

Cabernet Sauvignon: 52%
Merlot: 26%
Cabernet Franc: 21%
Malbec: 1%

comments: This was an extremely smooth wine, had it with homemade lasagna…eh hmmm. About 20.00 and well worth the price. I know it’s a little more than usual, but the flavors abound, with fruits and barrels.
