A Bordeaux Quaffer

2004 Les Caves Joseph Bordeaux
$4.99
Jen’s Notes

This is a simple weeknight quaffer, an easy food wine. The palate shows nice, tart, cherry flavors. It is not complex but the thing I appreciate most about wines like this is that the winemaker lets it stand or fall on its own. There isn’t the profligate use of oak, malolactic, or other techniques to gussy up the wine. There’s no pretense here of something more serious. Just enjoy it.
