Tonight we tried a wine that I received as a gift at Christmas, a 2006 Bangin Red. A nice blend of 69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, 8% Malbec, 6% Petit Verdot, 5% Merlot, 2% Zinfandel. Yikes. That's an odd mixed bag of stuff.
Well, the wine was a nice everyday drinker. The blend managed to make it drinkable, however a bit benign. Nothing bad at all, but nothing memorable. The cab was definitely dominant - the mix is intriguing, but almost seems like to good aspects of in each grape cancel each other out. Easy drinking, nice flavors, a good value, if it goes for about $10-12, which is what I'm guessing it is. If the givers are reading this, great choice! And thanks!
