Langhorne Crossing

First, let's get one thing straight: I left work an hour early so I could get home, uncork, decant, and hopefully do a little e-cializing with our wonderful Many Wines contributors. And as it turns out, Monsieur Orange met the challenge (as is his wont) with not one, but two wonderful new pieces. Bravo and fondest regards, my time-honored orange comrade. A relaxed chat with loved ones, indeed!

47% Shiraz, 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 15% Petit Verdot, Bleasdale Vineyards' Langhorne Crossing succeeds in several taste measures, while keeping a considerably high taste vs. cost ratio. Bleasedale's experience (founded 1950) and aging processes (13 months in neutral oak barrels) are both on intimate display from nose to afterlinger. An easy drinker with legs that go on forever. A juggling unicycle clown wearing dark ruby lipstick stolen from Molly Ringwald's considerable purse. Effortless. Fluent. A diamond in the smooth.
