Candidato, Spanish for "Monday night when you've finished the merlot".
Not kidding. I looked around for a good candidate and there it was. I'll be frank: this wine is easy on the wallet, nay, the change pot. But it is a pretty decent value when I think that 2 dozen donuts (which would, if I ate them, make me much sicker than this bottle of wine), cost about the same amount. It has everything one needs in a wine. It's red, comes in a vitrified pouring device, and looks completely at ease sitting on a counter or a table near a kitchen.
Actually, if I remember correctly, at a wine club circa Christmas 2007, this wine was enjoyed by all and scored pretty high on our scorecards. Just a bit oaky and fairly robust without being cloyingly sweet or ostentatiously French. Super-awesome with homemade pizza. Or after Merlot.
Did I ever mention wine club? Well, let me tell you, great friends come to wine club, and even better times result! It may have taken 2.5 hours to drive to it in a snow storm, but the moment wine club starts all malice is forgotten! Am I not right Amigos?
