Amazingly fresh and easy to drink. Hogue made good wines in the late 80's.

With K and Miranda at home at dinner (sautéed chicken breasts with basil and mint). Attractive ruby-magenta color. Viscous, with good legs. Fine, elegant nose shows soft, varietal fruit. Excellent palate. Rich, concentrated palate. Juicy and fruity. Very nice wine. 5-10-16-7: 88/100.
