| 2006 R Wines EVIL Cabernet Sauvignon South Eastern Australia WB Rating: 88 Alcohol by volume: 15.0% Price at time of purchase: $7.99 (Costco) Type: Cabernet / Bordeaux Principal varietal(s): Shiraz Another insanely good bargain from R Wines, this Cabernet has more character and quality than most of the $40+ California Cabs I've tasted in Dry Creek tasting rooms lately. Deep purple in color; excellent ripeness; earthy and chewy. Spicy cherry, berry, and bittersweet chocolate flavors, along with classic weedy dark currant notes. Despite the 15% alcohol, does not come across as hot or unbalanced. If anything, this wine will continue to improve for a couple of years, though it's awfully nice right now. Love the label. - HK 2008-09-19 [Back] |
