Wine Tasting - De Negoce Lot 160 Red Blend

Name:  De Negoce Lot 160 Red Blend Variety:  Red Blend (55%  Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Malbec, 12% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 8% Syrah) Region:  Columbia Valley, Washington Country:  USA Year:  2018   Price:  $40     Winery Review:  Tasting the wine you get red fruits, cherry, black currant. Slightly syrupy (though doubt any RS, definitely a dry wine), with chocolate and spice. Medium finish. This is a very good QPR, though at a higher price point the wine is disjointed, like a field blend of a bunch of leftovers. This is age-able, in fact, it feels a little young to drink now, but definitely a great weeknight pizza wine.   Wine Folly: Pg 184, the description for the Washington red wines were fruity with sweet-tart acidity, which I really picked up on. The acidity of the red was very memorable, its the key facet I remember. My Review: I got to enjoy this wine at the wedding reception for one of my closest friends, so I didn't take any notes on the flavors I got, and I didn't
