Bleasdale The Broad-side Langhorne Creek Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon Malbec

This refreshingly lithe blend from Langhorne Creek is quite the antithesis of Broad-side. In a region that built its name on solid, rustic reds of at times imposing proportions, this bargain Bleasdale makes a beautifully low alcohol statement that unlocks wonderful fragrance, lively freshness and crunchy, spicy dark berry fruits. A pristine vintage has yielded a structured blend of refreshingly vibrant acidity and even some longevity. Great value for $12 at Dan Murphy’s.
