Another Great Under $20 Cabernet

I have been off for a while so I will start slow.

Just experienced a great new wine, Educated Guess from Roots Run Deep Winery (http://www.rootsrundeep.com/educated_guess.html). Besides the catchy name it tastes great. I really get excited when I find these types of gems.

Wow, what can we say about our Cabernet Sauvignon? It’s rich, ripe and focused with juicy blackberry and cherry fruit, cocoa and hints of mint all tied together with a creamy french vanilla middle and a finish that in a word is . . . lingering. Educated Guess fills all the requirements that a serious cabernet lover is looking for, while remaining fun, approachable, and food friendly!

They owners say it better than me. It will be great with the filets I am getting ready to prep.

I hope you find this one.
