And here we are- I'm trying my hand at live-blogging right now. Exciting. So, my guy and I are rounding out our hectic Wednesday with a bottle of Apothic Red. He swears by it, so we're about to see if I'm a convert.
I'm swirling it around in the glass to really bring out all of the aromas. (You also have to stick your nose reallllly far in the glass to get the full effect, try it sometime.) Mmm wow, it's got a pretty nose on it. Dark and sweet and jammy, just the way I like it. It's got a sexy vanilla spice to it too. One of the best noses of the year I dare say... strong words. Now let's put this guy to the real test.
And, he passes. This blend is really quite gorgeous for being the under $15 category. It's super ripe and fruity initially, with a lovely vanilla berry finish that lasts. Yum. Sorry guys, live-blogger time is over. I've got a glass of vino to enjoy!
Alcohol: 13.1%

Rachel's Grade: A- So worth it. It's a big, fruity, sweet, and sensuous blend. Those are never a bad thing, right? I don't give out my A's easy, so take my word for it. Apothic Red is sure to please right now, and probably even more so next year...
