This fine red wine was purchased at Farm Fresh supermarket in Oak Park, Michigan for $5.99.
The wine made from grapes harvested at night. We harvest at night when the cool air chills the fruit, concentrates the flavors, and preserves the crisp acidity of our grapes - making for a deliciously balanced wine. Uncork. Pour. And discover the magic of Night Harvest.
Dark and rich, the color echoes the full fruit aromas in this Cabernet Sauvignon. Black currant, black cherry, and sweet oak flavors mingle softly with supple tannins and a round finish.

I really liked this wine. I drank about a 1/2 bottle over the course of the evening while eating sunflower seeds, watching the Phillies put away the Rockies in game 4 the divisional playoff game.
This wine was not too sweet or too tart or too dry - yet the perfect balance of all three. I give it 4 out of 5 stars. My only complaint would be a slight headache in the morning but nothing too severe. Awesome wine for the price!
Here's a link to a review for the 2005 bottle, I believe mine was a 2006, though oddly enough, there's no year printed on the label.
Dear Phil,
ReplyDeleteI am VERY interested in learning about low cost wines as I enjoy a sip or two once in a while but don't have the time nor the funds to be a connoisseur. I hope to taste THIS wine one day and I look forward to reading your upcoming blog posts!
Would you also suggest sunflower seeds to be consumed with this particular wine? If so, I'd have to steal my daughter's bag.
Thank you,
Andrea
Dear Andrea,
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting our new blog. While sunflower seeds are okay with this wine, I would recommend enjoying this Cab with a juicy piece of steak - unfortunately, all I had at the time were the tasty Spitz, Dill Pickle flavored seeds.
Come back again soon to see which affordably tasty wine we sample next!
Best,
Phil
Dear Phil,
ReplyDeleteThank you and I look forward to your next post. Do you think you'll have any guest reviewers on at any time?
Andrea
Guest reviewers are always welcome, might you be interested??? Let me know if you're going to be in the Detroit area any time soon and maybe we can share a bottle ;)
ReplyDeleteI WOULD be interested, kind sir. Actually, I'll be in your town the weekend of the 30th. I may just take you up on your offer to share a bottle! I'll let you chose since you have the blog. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'd say that's a DEAL!
