This wine is an excellent California cabernet sauvignon, but the only question is whether or not it is worth its hefty price. We paired this wine against a Francis Coppola Diamond Collection 2010 Black Label Claret Cabernet Sauvignon. At first sip, both wines were lovely. The Coppola wine was more "up-front," but was also harsher while the Meander was fruitier and lingered on the palate in a more pleasing way. An hour after opening, the Meander was better than when it was opened, but the Coppola had begun to fade away. I loved the Meander cabernet, but I don't think I can justify the purchase when there are good cabernets in the 20-dollar price range.
Paid $46.95 at Sherry-Lehmann
