Wine: 2009 Santa Carolina Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon
Why it's a win: Our group of friends recently returned from an cruise through Alaska's Inside Passage and this was a popular bottle at our ridiculously fancy cruise dinners. Initially I ordered it on a whim because I like Cabernets and because I usually always like Cabernets from Chile. This bottle did not disappoint. It was deep ruby in color, fruit forward with hints of chocolate and pepper, full-bodied enough to suit all of our meals, and with a well balanced finish.
Where you can find it: Princess Cruises. I'll let you know as soon as I see a bottle in the stores. I'll be snatching up several when I do.
Price: $25 on the cruise, so I assume it's around $10-15 in stores.
