2005 Kingfish Cabernet Sauvignon

The Winery: King Fish
The Wine: 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon
Price: $3.98

For a four dollar bottle of wine, this is not terrible. I wouldn't serve it with a fancy dinner, but for a casual family meal it's fine. It's flavor is kind of raw, not very well refined. But it's certainly drinkable. And, hey, it only cost $3.98. That's the price of a latte! The wine does not have an overly spicy flavor. But it doesn't have a lot of any flavor. More than anything it just lacks character. What flavor there is, leans towards the black cherry end of the spectrum. I'd serve it with spaghetti made from canned sauce, or maybe with burgers. Something simple, to match the wine.
