Fine QPR #cabernetsauvignon from #coonawarra - light vanilla toast notes backed by a broad well of cassis and blackberry preserves with soft spice. Jammy trap is avoided with lovely acidity on the palate to balance the up-front fruit and fuzzy tannins to keep things interesting. Top tier Cab for $10 at Costco. — 2 months ago

Superlative QPR #columbiavalley #cabernetsauvignon from this big volume producer. Costco had this at 94 points, though I can’t remember from which source. It’s not nearly that good, but for $10 it features good cassis, blackberry concentrated aroma, understated coffee and chocolate notes - good tartness balanced by robust fruit, velvety tannins. This one gets better after a day in the wine fridge from uncorking - excellent mid-week Cab. — a month ago

This #languedocrousillon #cabernetsauvignon continues to impress me once it opens up: concentrated fruit-forward up front layered with lovely complex aromas, just enough tartness and soft tannins. #wsjwineclub — a month ago

VJB has great #sonomavalley reds. This #cabernetsauvignon starts out tight with oaky vanilla, upon opening up there’s blackberry preserves, leather. Great concentration on the palate, enough acidity for balance and velvety tannins. — 2 months ago

Home-isolation pandemic angst and impatience drove me to open this wine perhaps a few years early as the 2016s are said to have aging potential. Even somewhat young this #bordeauxsuperior hailing from #hautmedoc delivers elegance at a great price. Cassis, some violet and graphite - classic layers from #petitverdot. I love PV and this Château blends 50% with 30% #merlot and 20% #cabernetsauvignon . In the mouth there’s juicy acidity, fresh blackberry and good power in the tannins. Found it at Costco a while ago for less than $15; talk about great QPR - should have picked up half a case at this price. — 4 months ago

Fruit bomb - baskets of ripe and jammy blackberry, raspberry, black currant- also oak, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla bean, dried coconut, cola, with delicate sage and mint notes. All of that, coupled with soft tannins on the palate, make this a pop-and-pour kind of Cab from Paso Robles. Vintage 2018. ABV 15%.

The nose on this wine speaks of plums with a hint yeast. The palate is full-bodied wirh black fruit. It's great with a burger and fries. — 2 months ago
