We all need to be a little bit evil, right? And here’s proof that good wine doesn’t have to be evilly priced: $9.99. Buy a dozen and get it for $8.99. Evil is 100% Cabernet from 10 to 30 year old vines. Grapes are from three distinctly different regions: 38% McLaren Vale, 37% Barossa, 25% Pyrenees. I don’t know where any of those places are, but our neighbor has a Great Pyrenees dog that likes to toy with Cherry Berry by pretending to herd goats that are out of her reach. Besides the reasonable price, I love the label and screw top. Screw tops rule, wine makers – get with the program. 89 points. No, I’ll give it 90 since it screws.
$9.99 – now THAT’s what I’m talkin’ about. Actually I go as high at $15 sometimes but I know it can be done. It CAN! And now we know how.
screw tops are the new corks. where do i find this special blend. it is right in my price point. 🙂 later.
The Barossa Valley is about an hour to the north of Adelaide, South Australia where I live, McLaren Vale is about 30 minutes to the south. The Pyrenees area is over in Victoria. My favourite Cabernets are from the Coonawarra in SA and Margaret River in Western Australia. I prefer Shiraz from the Barossa and McLaren Vale.
Haven’t seen the EVIL brand before, but it might be an export brand. Does it say who made it?
