  Popped and poured after work. Probably should have let it breathe for an hour or two first, but didn't have time before dinner plans. It was pretty tight, relatively smooth without a lot of complexity. The wine is 30% cab franc, 30% malbec, 25% syrah and 15% cabernet sauvignon. I feel with a better presentation I would have gotten more out of this interesting mix.
  
  Purchased for $28 at Costco. The bottle has a sticker on it saying Robert Parker / Wine Advocate gave it a 93. So I took a flyer and bought three bottles. I'm not going to give a number for the bottle consumed, but if I had to it would be an 85 to 87 on a hard grading scale. Maybe this improves a bit with better presentation.
