Penfolds
Rawson's Retreat Cabernet Sauvignon
South Eastern, Australia
So it’s Sunday, and this Jew (me) is going to make a Sunday gravy like a former Italian girlfriend of mine used to make. My inner chef only awakens in the presence of wine and I picked one to cook with and then drink. I failed at this bi-modal wine attempt. It cooked well, and it drank much like the unpleasant and unappealing grapes that were needlessly fermented into drain fodder. I’m pained by the thought of all the wasted energy and the carbon footprint required to move this stuff from halfway around the world to me. Don’t Retreat; Surrender instead.

Thank you Delectable!!! This was in a clearance bin, and your ratings made me buy! Does not disappoint! A little light for a cab, but like other reviews gonna say it is an easy drinker at the price.

Wasn’t impressed. Somewhere around the middle of the road with this wine. Lacked body.
