I tried a new Cabernet Sauvignon I purchased at Trader Joes called 120 Santa Rita. It's a 2006 vintage from the Rapel Valley in Chile.Chile has become a prime importer of red wine to the US. And the price was great at $5.99. In my retirement I'm always looking for good value. And Trade Joes is a prime outlet for good wine values.
I really enjoyed this product. It has a full body with reduced tannins due to the oak aging. The nose has cherry, tobacco, and plum overtones. It has a clean finish with a nice aftertaste. And the best part is that the cost is $3.99. Pick up a bottle and enjoy it with a good steak. In fact, purchase some rolled stuffed skirt steaks at Trader Joes at the same time. A perfect pairing. And let me know what you think

john,
you hit this one right on the head. this is the best under 20$ i have had and i think it puts many of the left bank wines to shame! it does make you wonder what there charging all that money for in france and california! by the way
the 2007 isn't AS good but its still well worth the price.im snatching up all the 2006 i can get my hands on.
