Wine Number 10:

2006 San Pedro "35 Degrees South" Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve:

Banging out another country, I could have done it with a Chilean Carmenere but wanted to write about this wine. Received this from the Garden State Wine Club, a distributor's wine club whose mostly decent review you can read about below. The 35 Degrees refers to the latitude of the winery in South America.

When I poured this wine, I literally said, "Whoa!" The color is outrageous, it was a ruby sort of a color that looked almost fake, the wine matched up with that pretty much. Lots of oak and tons of fruit. Reminded me of an Australian Shiraz. It was decent, but only if you like oak and a ton of fruit. The back of the bottles says "Are you ready for this full-bodied wine, bursting with red berry and blackcurrant flavours? You'll love it!" This holds true if you're okay with the bursting part.
