Dr. Jebediah Drinkwell's 2007 Meritage...WIne with a Song!

That's right... Every bottle of wine comes complete with lyrics to a song on the back that exclaim "Dr. Drinkwell makes singing fun again!" Nothing says good wine like a shimmering afro clad icon on the front label, and song lyrics on the back (all true statements)! Though somewhat wrapped in sillyness, this blend of 60% Cab Franc 27% Merlot 11% Cab Sauvignon 1% Malbec and 1% Petit verdot is the real deal! Once out of the bottle, you won't pick up a lot on the nose, but the taste will linger on the tongue, not unlike the lyrics themselves... You'll get cherries on the roof of your mouth and a lingering dak chocolate. One might describe the body as a little thin, but it is big on the tatse buds. Tannins are here (that sort of dry on the mouth feel) but not overly obnoxious... That makes this a drink now for me.... This wine is great with well seasoned flank steak or other red meat. At a bit less than $10 you really can't go wrong! It's one of my favorite Trader Joe's regulars... By a bottle so you can sing along.
