2009 Phebus
Cabernet Sauvignon
Fabre Montmayou Wines
Mendoza, Argentina
$9.99 + Tax (Total Wine, Newport News, VA)
Argentina wine! I bought this to see what South America has to offer. I've heard a lot of good things about South American wines and lots of experts say they are really coming along well.
This wine is very good. It has a sweet delivery, with a slightly dry finish. I can taste lots of berry flavor, and it has a little bit of smokiness to it. For a Cabernet, it is surprisingly light. It won't be overpowering like some other cabs, so I can imagine it being used for both appetizers and entree. The sweetness in the wine will also make it more palatable to all people, even the ones who doesn't like red.
SCORE: 82/100
