Napa Valley Cab Sauv

Man, I love BevMo. I purchased two excellent wines there for $11 (originally $15 - I'm so darn thrifty), although I did not remember to post the first. This is the second.

Now, for all their hype - Napa wines are not typically my favorites. Lately, I've been having very South American leanings, with many a Malbec from Argentina placing among my favorites. But I was pleasantly surprised with this fruity cabernet sauvignon. Crisp, medium-bodied, with 13.8% alcohol - which was not overwhelming in the least. Definite berry flavors and I want to say pomegranate, even though that's absurd. Definitely worth the price.
