We're fans of the Three Thieves – the wines are good though simple, the packaging on this would be convenient for picnics, or even travel, plus the prices are right. The Three Thieves also make small one liter "jug wines" that are solid and have been reviewed on here previously.A bit of raspberry on the nose, otherwise there's not much happening.
Smooth – mild tannins – vanilla, plums, blackberries, cherries – a bit of o
ak, but it's light. Fruity and a touch sweet, but not over the top.A bit of spice – cinnamon mostly – on the finish as well as some cherry and vanilla.
At $10 for a liter, this is tough to argue with. The flaws in many mass produced inexpensive cabs – sickening sweetness and no balance – aren't here. While it may not be at the top of my list for a table wine, it's worth checking out if convenience is a priority and you don't want swill.
