- Slight aromas of nutmeg and other Christmas spices.
- Slight hint of cherry in the taste with holiday spices.
- A bit tart on the finish…a bit like raspberry
- This wine really conjured up images and feelings of Christmas….Felt like going home to family after being away for a long time and laughing together around a big Christmas dinner…..of course sine it is the middle of the summer and fond memories are all that are left we no longer remember all the Christmas fights over politics and sports with drunk Uncle “Larry”

This is a Cabernet Sauvignon from California |
| $8 at Cost Plus World Market |
|
- Strong floral aromas.
- Smooth and rounded with good body with tastes of plum and dark berries.
- Easy to drink with soft tannins.
- I was really surprised by this wine. I think the packaging lowered my expectations for some reason, but it turned out to be pretty decent. This wine was like going to a movie that you know nothing about, not expecting anything much and then being quite surprised by the quality and depth. Not a Oscar winner, but certainly worth seeing.

This wine is a Cabernet Sauvignon from Washington State. |
| $13 from Fresh and Easy |
|
- Anise and wood in the aroma.
- Tastes of woody oak and dark berries
- Very earthy, leathery flavors and aromas
- Decanting with a filter is recommend as there is some sediment.
- Very Earthy and comfortable…like walking into your grandfathers library and he is sitting there by the fire. there is a distinguised air about it and it makes you want to linger there for a long time.

I picked this wine up to have with some people who were going to be sitting by the fire pit at our condo this evening. My choice for it was based on finding something new and since I had not had a Chilean wine in some time I figured I would give it a shot. Outside of the high acid content I would not say that I was disappointed. I suppose it would have been much better with a meal though. |
| $8.00 at Frys |
 |
- Fruity but musty aroma
- Tastes of blackberries at first and a very slight hint of peaches
- Raisins and toasted oak mixed some black pepper
- A little more acidic than I normally like
- This wine is a little like dating a girl who can be very sarcastic…ya like her a lot but sometimes her sarcasm in front of others kinda makes ya cringe

So I was standing outside the other day grilling up a steak and drinking the last bit of the Tarazza Malbec that I had. Someone I know who lives in the condo complex we live in came by and we started talking. We talked about wine, cigars, and beer. I made the comment that I wish I had some more wine to have with my steak with and he kindly offered up a bottle of La Boca Cabernet that he is a big fan of. This wine is not as big or as bold as your traditional Cab, so I did knock a trophy off for that but overall it was not too bad. Understand this…It is a 4 dollar bottle of wine…if you are looking for something that tastes decent and are not into finding all the subtle nuances and flavors a wine can have than go ahead and give this a try. |
| $4.00 at Trader Joes |
 |
- Simple
- Cherries on the tip of the tongue
- Hints of grapefruit at first followed by a very dry finish
- Pleasant tasting but too simple and not enough depth
- This wine is like an attractive girl that is very shallow…You can handle her in doses every now and then but you do not want to spend a great amount of time or money on her….Luckily for you this one is very cheap

This is a Cabernet Sauvignon that my wife Lynnette picked up from Sprouts. She bought it so I could make a pan sauce to go with the steak she purchased as well for me to grill. |
| $5.00 at Sprouts |
|
- Light, fruity and pleasant aromas
- A rush of fresh raspberries right off the bat
- Oak undertones
- More Sweet and fruity than earthy but not overwhelmingly sweet
- This is not as big and bold as you might expect from cabernet but it is still good.
- Decent wine, but you feel a little bit tricked since it did not have the usual characteristics of a Cab…Kinda like going to a movie because of the previews you saw….Then the movie turns out to be very different than you expected….but the pan sauce was excellent!

This wine is a Cabernet from the Columbia Valley in Washington. I picked this up at Fresh and Easy but I have had it before. It can be found in Fry’s and Basha’s but the price at Fresh and Easy was the cheapest I have seen. The Two Vines line from Columbia Crest has produced many “Best Buy” and “Best Value” designations from wine aficionados. |
| $6.00 Purchased at Fresh and Easy |
 |
- Strong aromas of fruit that is dominated by Black Cherry
- Nice balance between sweet and dry with moderate tannins
- Cherry and oak flavors right away and a hint of cocoa on the finish
- Full bodied and robust
- A little sharp on the tongue at first but decanting led to a very soft and velvety feeling in the mouth
- A wonderful and enjoyable wine for the price….Like eating a burger from a charcoal grill…it is still just a burger but that charcoal grill makes it taste like so much more.

This is a Cabernet from the Amber Knolls Vinyard of the 75 Wine Company in Lake County California. I enjoyed a glass of this Cab at the Brushfire Grill in Gilbert AZ with my BBQ Chicken. They are serving it for around $10 a glass so you would be able to pick up a bottle elsewhere for around $20. |
| $20 |
 |
- Dark deep purple hues.
- Aromas of spice and earth.
- Tastes of minerals and oak with a mild berry finish.
- Moderate tannins and dry.
- Goes great with foods like BBQ and steak.
- This wine is like a classic song that you just don’t get tired of. Every time you listen you hear something new and you find that even after many years you can still appreciate it.

This is a Cabernet Sauvignon from the Napa Valley in California. I picked up a bottle of this wine after having Chinese food and I wish I had it during the meal. It was great on it’s own thought and I wouldn’t hesitate to pick it up again. |
| $7 Purchased from Bashas. |
|
- Hints of blackberries and smoke in the aroma with a touch of pepper and spice.
- Nice balance of rich dark berries and earthy tones.
- Good full bodied flavor that would go great with your favorite dinner dish.
- Slightly sweet at the start, but finishes nicely with earthy notes.
- This is a great Cab for the price. Loons always remind me of Canada, and this bottle was no exception. This is a down to earth well mannered bottle of wine that has a bit of an edge to it. It would try hard not to offend anyone that it didn’t know very well. You could serve this bottle of wine to anyone and be proud of it.
