Fish Eye - Cabernet Sauvignon @@@ (3 Corks)

Retails: $9.33 (Per 1.5 L, Total Wine)


Another inexpensive Australian brand, Fish Eye's Cabernet Sauvignon doesn't deliver as fully as some of its other Aussie competitors. However, for the price, this would be a well-received wine to serve for a large group gathering --- especially since the 1.5L are STILL under $10 themselves.

The flavors are pretty overpowering, plenty of oak and tannins, not much complexity in flavor. However, where other "bulk" wines of similar price points provide a flat, flavorless glass, this one definitely packs a punch. It bursts into your mouth with a demanding presence, "I am RED WINE, (bitches)."

For those of us who do enjoy a robust red, this is certainly preferable to the generic, watered-down, bargain variety red. I wouldn't pair this with a delicate meal, it requires equally commanding foods to hold up against its rich flavors. Wine and cheese, totally fine, garden salad, not so much.
