2000 Santa Rita Reserva Cab

[MontereyRick]

One of the all time deals. I have no idea if Trader Joe's is a national chain or just a CA/west coast niche grocer but they have some great deals on wine.

I bought a couple of bottles of this at the Pacific Grove (Monterey) Trader Joe's about a month ago for $7.49 a bottle. Liked it so much I bought 2 cases for myself and 1 for my Dad for Xmas. Great bang for the buck. My buddy in Santa Barbara also found some at his TJ's.

Other Retailers asking around $13. See below from Wine Spectator (88pts).

Nice Old World style Cab, with mineral, earth and cedar notes running through the dark currant fruit, which puts on muscle through the finish. Drink now through 2004. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 41,000 cases imported. (JM)
