Another Screw Top Favorite


I am a firm believer in being frugal when it comes to wine purchases.  Since I'm currently unemployed, I have taken this to a whole new level.  Anyways, I decided to try Penfolds Rawson's Retreat Shiraz Cabernet 2007 (+/- $10).  I'm a huge fan of Australian wines, which probably stems from my junior year abroad in London where I was able to buy Australian and New Zealand wines at the Sainsburys.  But I digress. 

This wine, which has nuances of ripe berry, chocolate and spice, went down like a cold beer in a chilled glass.  It doesn't have a thick aftertaste or anything, it's great and cheap.  I'm nursing this bottle as well, but I'll probably be done with it by Sunday.
