McManis Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

Price: $10 @ Gary's Liquors; this is a very popular wine, so it shouldn't be difficult to find.

Description at the wine store enticed us

Comments: It's finally cold in Boston! And alas, we've broken out a new Cabernet to keep us warm. This one was a really nice surprise, as it does not taste like a $10 bottle of wine. It has a bold cherry, vanilla, and coffee flavor, and for a young Cab wine the tannins are not harsh at all. We should note that it has a very smooth, relatively long finish. Karie did not like it quite as much as the Casa Lapostolle Cabernet, but Rob liked it a bit more. For the price, it really can't be beat.
Rating:
7.5/10
