A quick update on Five Rivers cabernet sauvignon. I praised the 2007 vintage here and here.
Unfortunately, the current Five Rivers (2009) is no longer recommended here at Wineguider. It is also no longer a Best Value. It’s not terrible, but it just has too much of that “cheap red wine” taste. That’s a deal-killer for me.
Sadly — not recommended.

Oh no! This became one of our faves after you recommended it. Major bummer…
I agree, bummer! But feel free to check out the 2009 and tell me if you disagree!
Bummer…still trying to find a nice Cab in this price range. 😦
