Hogue - Harvest Red Varietal Blend - Washington

This bottle was brought by a guest to October's Third-Thursday dinner party. I'm sometimes a bit wary of general affordable reds. But this one was exceedingly drinkable (as evidenced by me and Chili drinking most of it) with a good balanced flavor. It went well with meat, and oddly enough went really well with cookies. Cookies?! Not a dessert wine, but it complemented the sugar in the cookies quite nicely. We're such philistines.
