Wow! Amazing for $13. Argentina Cabs can either thrill or fall flat. This is very good. Trying to get some steaks on the grill before the big storm rolls through.

This wine is a guilty pleasure. 97 degrees outside and this does the job.

My brother in law brought this to a party. Just ok. Don't tell him I said that.

@Dave, she was that and more in the 1970s and 1980s, so sad she got sick.

Meaty. It takes a minute for the fruit to rise out of the spice and earthy stuff. Very enjoyable.

It's 97 degrees and I'm doing Malbec. Don't sass me, boy. Light and fresh, lively fruit and mouth-watering acidity. Great value.

I don't usually care much for 1792, but the Sweet Wheat is always an exception. It's probably been 3 years since I've found a bottle. Sweet it is, with caramel and apricot flavors.

Norman, it's really good. I would also vouch for their 12 year.

Well, here is a wine that Google doesn't even know about. Claimstaker California Cabernet Sauvignon, 2023, produced by Caymus Vineyards.
I think this is what happens when a wine producer is trying to hit break even for the year? Take some various grapes that may have gone into higher end wines, rebrand it, slap $17 on the price tag. Maybe? Anyone know anything?
It's a very true-to-Wagner wine: plush, juicy, oaky, and deep. I do think it's good for this price.

Yeah, of course Delectable doesn't recognize many, but this bottle I bought is nowhere to be found online yet. I don't see it anywhere @Doug Powers Got your email but unfortunately I don't have contact info for @Tom Casagrande

My first time with this maker. Really nice St Emy, despite the high temps outside. Silky smooth, lively fruit, medium tannin. Drink it now or in 10 years, it's going to be yummy either way.

I let this breathe for a couple hours while I finished a paper. It's still a bit tight, but opening up. Really nice deep fruit and spice, dark chocolate, with leathery tannins.
