- habenero - 06-21-2008 Does anyone else love this wine? For the price and the overall taste? - Innkeeper - 06-21-2008 Hi Habenero, and welcome to the Wine Board. Jacobs Creek produces Cabernet Sauvignon at a few different price points. Which one are you referring to? - wondersofwine - 06-23-2008 I have included Jacob's Creek basic Cabernet Sauvignon before in lists of good QPR (quality-to-price ratio)wines. It's been quite awhile since I've purchased or tried any though. - habenero - 06-23-2008 This would be under $10 for the bottle. - Innkeeper - 06-23-2008 That's a good value, and reasonably consistant from year to year. - habenero - 06-24-2008 Another one of my favs in the same price range would be Columbia Crest - Innkeeper - 06-24-2008 Also a very good value and a consistant producer. Both these wines are fine everyday drinkers, but neither would I chose for a special occasion and/or with a special steak. - habenero - 06-24-2008 I guess the reason why I haven't tiptoed into the higher priced wines is that I don't want to spend $$ on a stinker. If I could find a wines with that taste profile in the higher priced ranges I'd try it - Innkeeper - 06-24-2008 You might look for the Finca El Portillo Mendoza Cabernet Sauvignon from Argentina. It is slightly more expensive at around $12, it is more than just a step up from the other two. - habenero - 07-02-2008 Thanks for the comeback, will try it! |
