2004 Korta Barrel Selection Cabernet Sauvignon - $11 Lontue Valley, Chile. This estate grown cabernet is dark ruby red in color, with aromas of plum, earth, and subtle oak. On the palate this wine is full bodied, smooth, with mild tannins and a lasting finish. An incredibly well balanced cabernet for $11. This is straightforward cabernet, but well done straightforward cabernet for cheap is impressive.
California almost never produces this kind of quality at this price point. Chile is still coming through with the delicious reds at prices points even stockholders of Chrysler can handle. This wine also pairs well with an ACC rivalry where Duke knocks down a very game Wake Forest team. I've also tried the Korta syrah at the same price point and was similarly impressed with the quality, this wine is one to find.
