Beyond Merlot: Red Diamond Cabernet Sauvignon

Beyond Merlot: Wine Reviews for Newbies

One real winner we have found both in taste and price is: Red Diamond Cabernet Sauvignon.  You’ll note I don’t give a year, because so far we’ve yet to have one that wasn’t good.  According to their website the cab is actually a blend with 2% Merlot.  I never realized it but that probably accounts for this wine’s easy drink-ability.  It is fruity and light but with a good mouthfeel.  The best part of this wine is it’s cost.  We’ve seen it from between $7-$12 but look for it around $8.50.  The price makes it a great buy for a group, or take advantage if your grocer has a buy 6 discount. It is very smooth compared to a lot of other under $10 wines and a great first step if you are thinking about branching out.
