Barton & Guestier Cabernet Sauvignon

by H. G.
(The East Ports, MI)

Several years ago a woman in my local supermarket noticed that I was having difficulty picking a red wine for a get together I was having at my house. She offered her assistance and asked what varietals I preferred. I told her that I liked Cabernet Sauvignon and that I didn't want to break the bank with this purchase. She replied with a heavy French accent that Barton & Guestier's Cabernet Sauvignon was an excellent choice. In fact, the B&G vineyard is located in the area of France that she was originally from.

I decided to take a chance on her recommendation and I was sold after my first sip. It is strong with a complex bouquet has lots of volume and has powerful tannins. This is a great bottle that can be enjoyed either with dinner or simply sitting with friends after a long day. You can purchase it at most supermarkets for around $8.00.

Not to my satisfaction
by: Mark Raylona

The only thing impressive about this wine was the price. And that didn't even win me over enough to purchase it again. I found it dry, lacking in the body. The alcohol content was low, which I believed made the wine lack for me. I need something with a little kick to have the wine be successful for me, and this didn't cut it. I am more of a Zinfandel sort of guy and will be writing a review on my favorite bottle soon! But for me, this wine missed the mark and lacked the kick that I crave in a good bottle.

I loved your recommendation! This is one of the best wines that I've had to date. It's a great price and the flavor is just so bold! I love to treat myself to this after a long, long work day. Not only are the flavors so eminent, but the body is fantastic. When air-rating this before my first sip, I could just smell the salient aroma of a great bottle. And I'll take that any day for $8!

Also, I noticed that you are from the East Ports of Michigan. I love that area so much. It is absolutely gorgeous all year round. I love vacationing in our summer home right on the beautiful lake!
