Veo, Cab / Sauv 2009.

Let me state for the record that Veo is always a surprise. Its low price, and availability at Sam's Club should not deter one from buying it. I bought this bottle for $6.99 at Sam's. I think it was last year around Christmas and we're just now getting ready to drink. As it would turn out, it was one of the best wines I've had this year.

A wonderful full flavor, and very dry, with just a hint of spice. The nose on it is spritely and delightful, and the finish is very clean. I recommend it served with some kind of Beef, and Chimichurri sauce, with mixed vegetables. I normally do not write short reviews on wine, but my time of late has been co-opted with work. I will be writing more in the coming days and weeks. Also, please check out the other blog, about spirits.
