$ 4.99 Napa Cabernet ???

Yes, that is correct. With a glut of grapes , an economic downturn and a sluggish market , the possibilty of good fruit winding up in an affordable bottle is better than in the past. This wine is really something that one couldn't purchase for less than about $ 15.00 maybe 10 years ago but times have changed. The Spiral Wines 2008 Napa Valley Cabernet is actually very tasty and could easily be a weekend wine but at this low price it is affordable any day of the week for most folks. The Spiral Wines really has Napa Cabernet characteristics although it isn't a really rich , full bodied wine. I don't mind the light body as it works better with food and the 13.9 % alcohol isn't overpowering like many Napa wines. I give this one 7 1/2 swiggs....quite high for the price point .....this one is a real bargain. You'll find it at Trader Joes if it isn't all gone yet.
