This is very cheap for a cab- has the potential to be a great deal.

One of the reviewers on CT mentioned it needing cellaring and then reviewed it again after a whopping 1 month in the cellar. All that time gained it another 2 pts (from 84 to 86!) By this time it should be worth a solid 100 pts.

Blookan bought a set, yet the status bar is still 100%; looks like there's a lot in stock.

Cab ??? Did someone say Cab ????

quote for Fred:
"Expert Reviews

by Michael Schachner
Atypical on the nose, as air freshener, berry jelly and exotic but odd aromas take over. The palate seems superficial and wholly unusual, with floral blueberry flavors and then an angular, floral finish. Not terrible but doesn’t seem much like Cabernet."

No haven't bought it before, but hey Man it's a Cab for what $12 bucks a bottle? free shipping, m fedex guys gonna be busy in two weeks

The reviews I've read indicate that

1. This price is not a "deal." The prices indicated everywhere are $12.95/bottle. Unless this wine is very low production and hard to find (which is almost definitely not the case) then you can find it elsewhere for cheaper.

2. This wine is not very good.

But... you said you were in for one back in April of 2012. (I was just looking at old discussions to see if anybody had tasting notes.)

Agreed .. So far we are in for three wines and one chocolate. Our FedEx Fround guy already thinks we need home-dialysis. Looks like we're adding this to the day as well.

You might make sure you've not lost some in that impressive moustache of yours. Your comments from the last offering suggest you might have bit.

that's what I was thinking and hoping for woot-community tasting notes

It turns out it doesn't matter what tasting notes exist... because this is one of those (extremely) rare no-NY-shipping deals. Can't recall the last time I saw one of those.

Bought this before. Good cab but lots of sediment.

Mostly agree from what I read, though the $12.95 seems to be for the 2010 vintage?... production is 2500 cases based on Wine Enthusiast, not very low production, but on the lower end for Argentina.

I am used to decent Argentinian Cabs often selling for less than $8 at bargain shops in Europe.

So, not convinced unless someone can attest that this is awesome juice. Might do a split though because I am curious.

Crap! No shipping to Georgia!

OK, Damn I got too much wine found two bottles, opened one and at first taste its got legs, deep color, nice taste no after bite, will let sit a while for further taste, what ever got 8 more on their way, the only Cab I won't buy again is Copa Del Rey Chilean Cab and Maybe Dignus, the rest were excellent, looking for some White Oak 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon / Merlot Case and Tasi Merlot for da wife.

ok - so it is FredRinaldi - CabMan -approved

yeah, was really disappointed about Copa del Rey
And yes - the "White Oak 2006" mixed-case coming back would be a few major holidays together

lol, was just about to pull the trigger - and they reduced it from 60% to 0%?!

Yeah, no way it actually sold out that quickly. Maybe they'll bring it back for another woot-off.
