Note: I publish batches of reviews that I call Good Values Wine Picks. These are from the regular section of the liquor store rather than the Vintages section, and tend to be lower priced and the most widely available of all wines. The last four reviews I did were: May 22, March 7, January 4 and December 16.

Tasting note:

This unfiltered and unfined wine has lots of stuffing and flavour! It was aged for 22 months in French oak. IN addition to Cabernet Sauvignon, there's 6% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot, 2% Cabernet Franc. Loaded with cassis and blackcurrant flavour feathery tannins.

More Reviews

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:

Glenda rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review: Jose Conde's Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 has a balanced amount of fruit, in the form of cassis, red currents and black ripe fruit, with the correct degree of oaking. Small amounts of Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc round off the blend. A wine to drink now or lay down if you can resist the temptation.
