Badger Mountain 2006 Organic Pure Red Washington

'Eh, it'll do. It isn't that good, but it's not drek. It's a boxed wine and for being served out of a plastic bag, it's better than any other that I've ever tried. Good for low end partying or casual drinking, but it's not good enough that I'll buy it again.

Bacchus speak:
A nice deep ruby colour. Warm, the nose has some fruit and a touch of bitter. Cold, you can't smell much of anything. Nice legs in either case. It's best served roughly room temperature, as refrigerated it loses all flavor except for a tannin finish. Interestingly you don't notice any of the normal plastic bag flavor that usually leaches through and destroys most boxed wines. As expected, the flavor doesn't significantly change after 5 days.
