Good luck getting a better Cabernet than this for $20. The wine shows quite expressive aromas and flavors, yet is really only medium-bodied, with enough structure to pair well with serious foods…but no harshness that would prevent you from enjoying it with light hors d’oeuvres. That’s exactly what I tried the wine with recently at a party on Super Bowl Sunday, and though I totally lost my appetite during the 4th quarter, the wine was long gone by then. Back up the truck…this is a steal.
