1997 Benziger Imagery Malbec Sonoma County

[RAD]

For a change of pace (continuing to break my recent CA cab/OZ shiraz rut), something a bit different. Deep purply red with an almost opaque center. Pronounced blueberry nose with some toasted oak and vanilla. A shot of black cherry midpalate. Medium to full bodied, with a fair amount of tannins and a moderate-length finish. Alcohol 13%. Available at the winery for $29.

Even better with a roasted chicken dinner, a loving wife, and Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" on the CD. [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/wink.gif[/img]
