The Winery: Duck Pond Cellars
The Wine: 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon
The Price: $7.99 at QFC (marked down from $11.99)
This wine barely squeaked in under the $8 Recession Review limit, thanks to a generous sale.
Duck Pond Cellars is located in Dundee, Oregon; however, this wine is made with Washington grapes. I was surprised the find a 5 year old wine on the shelf at such a discounted price. There must be a story behind that.
The wine was corked with a natural cork, and was decanted an hour before reviewing.
The wine has aromas of prunes and blackberries. It is a fairly smooth, velvety texture to it. The wine has flavors of plum and blackberry, with a slight pepper finish.
For $8, this wine is an absolute bargain. I think it will continue to age well. I'd highly recommend this wine at this price. An absolute steal.
