Jacobs Creek Cabernet S

[habenero]

Does anyone else love this wine? For the price and the overall taste?

[Innkeeper]

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]

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]

This would be under $10 for the bottle.

[Innkeeper]

That's a good value, and reasonably consistant from year to year.

[habenero]

Another one of my favs in the same price range would be Columbia Crest

[Innkeeper]

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]

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]

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.

Thanks for the comeback, will try it!
