All the stores around here are selling this off, so I figure it's at the end of its shelf-life, but for the price ($3-4) it's worth a try. Pretty dry. Opened up a bit with some fruit after a few minutes. Good heat to it. Fine for daily fare. I'll probably grab a few more for that purpose. It's from when Covey Run still used corks (they've gone mostly screw-caps now), so that's worth something. (I still haven't gotten over a prejudice to screw caps, though I know that's irrational.)

Decent for the $7 I grabbed it for, new world, aussie bent in the WA style, stewed red fruits, big caramel from the oak. Not terribly complex, a touch phenolic, but generally servicable. Cooked coq au vin with most of it, and effortless polished off the rest while prepping...not a meal choice.
