I picked up a case of this wine a couple of days ago, splitting it with my neighbors. I had read about it in an email from the Wine Library and it sounded worth trying, especially considering the price which was under $12 for a Napa Valley cab. I needed an everyday cab since I was running low in the sub $20 wines. I expected a decent wine, nothing to write home about but I was pleasantly surprised. It was more than I was expecting for $12. The wine is smooth, lots of fruity flavor - plums and berries, a little on the sweet side though not a great nose. This is a wine that compares well to wines in the $20-$25 range. It's a good wine to just sip casually sitting at home.
Here are the tasting notes from The Wine Libray:
"Too good to be true? Think again! Yes, this is high quality Napa Cabernet for only $12! Ripe with great strawberry, raspberry, black currants, plums and black berry, with great tannins and a long, dusty finish. This is a must try! Fans of Twenty Bench and Franciscan will love this!"
Here's a link to buy it:
