$4 Callaway Cellar Selections
2009 Cabernet Sauvignon
California
Stater Bros.

This one has a bright purple-red color with thick, slow legs. It smells of ripened cherries, allspice and freshly mowed grass. I took a sip and it has a bit of a bite, but still nicely fruity and spicy. After a couple of sips, berries and cinnamon became the key players followed by nuances of green peppers, and earth. Not a bad Cabernet for the price, not a terribly complex wine, but decent enough.

I give this wine a 4 out of 5 stars
