Wine Review: 2005 Used Automobile Parts

Used Automobile Parts is a Napa Valley Bordeaux-style red blend produced by Three Loose Screws, a division of Don Sebastiani & Sons. It's seemingly really hard to find; in fact, there's little-to-no information available anywhere online - not even on Don Sebastiani & Sons website. According to other blogs, it is their only high-end wine, priced at approximately $50 a bottle. I bought it because of the quirky name and simple bottle, plus the fact that it was a Napa red blend.

It's a fantastic wine. Very typical of Napa red blends. Dark fruit. Quite tannic. Really elegant wine. Served with grilled ribeye, "woodshed" potatoes, and broccoli casserole at Ye Olde Steakhouse in South Knoxville. Helped make for an awesome Sunday semi-country dinner.
