Oak Ridge Winery, Lodi, California
$8.99 + Tax (Total Wine, Newport News, VA)
This wine has a lot of flavor. When you first open it up and taste it, you will get a lot of berry flavor and a hint of oak. It has a really awesome spiciness in the finish at first, but will mellow out as it sits and breaths. I actually like the change, because it really gives you a good kick that first couple of sips. It is still delicious after it breaths and you can really taste the all the flavor elements. With the drastic change in the flavor profile, it's almost like having two wine in one!
For the price, I think its a great wine. Very strong flavor, so it would go very well with steak, roast, or meat stew. I would imagine it would also go very well with cheese and crackers, but I think it definitely shines when paired with red meat.
SCORE: 85/100
