TODAY'S FEATURED WINE

As always, SavvyTaste.Com has my full description and opinion of this wine: Lewis Perdue's Rating of Agent For Change: Red Blend: Central Coast-California: : 2010: United States

Comments: This Cabernet Franc and Tempranillo blend was rich and deep with a Rhone-ish flair. Big fruit faintly of cherries and strawberries and enough tannin and tart to balance. We drank it all.
