Lynn and I have always loved Apothic Red which nicely overlaps our interest in having a great everyday wine and a great, affordable special occasion wine. There is a sexiness with the wine that you don't find in wines that have affordability as one of their characteristics (if memory serves, it is a favorite of the sexpot Burlesque artist Dita Von Teese). In the 2010 version we sensed notes of chocolate and cherries and it's combination of Cabernet and Merlot gives it a bewitching flavor. Again, a very sexy wine whose black and red color scheme might pair well with black and red lingerie...
