$4 Cabernet Sauvignon
Trader Joes Coastal 2005
California
Trader Joes

This wine is delicious! Okay, let me back up a bit. The nose and color were typical Cabernet. The first taste was a nice tangy fruity flavor. Then it became very smooth with a medium finish. Not a very complex wine, but defintely worth trying.

I give this bargain wine 4 out of 5 stars.

Just tasted the 2006. As you pointed out. It isn't that complex but not that bad for the price. I believe it is a Caboros Cellars wine the Trader Joe's labels.
