HANDS-Cabernet Sauvignon 2008-A Fine Delight

I recently shopped at the local Total Wine in my area and worked with a woman that worked there to help me discover new and interesting wines.
I began with Rieslings and her suggestions were a little disappointing. To dry for my taste. So when I was ready to open this South African Red wine, that she suggested, I was a bit apprehensive since her taste and mine did not quite meet in the middle.

I was pleasantly surprised! I really like this wine. Well Balanced, Enjoyable from the first drink to the next day of two. No need to air this wine at all. It comes with a screw top, but that is not so bad if you are traveling and want to pick up a wine, with no cork!
I highly recommend this wine and it was definitely under $15.00, I am almost sure of it, since I really do not find it necessary to spend more, at least at this stage in my wine tasting!!!
