Five Rivers is one of my old standbys. This winery is in Paso Robles, CA - an area I've come to know for producing consistently good cabernets. For the price, this one is hard to beat. It's a pretty good sized cab with lots of vibrant fruit and mouth feel. And velvety smooth, too! You can get a better cab, for sure, but you'd need to punch up into the $20 range most likely.
My family and I drank this as a prelude to our hearty steak dinner last night and all really enjoyed it. We'd finished the bottle before the meal but it would have held up well with the steak.
So, to sum up - this is a low cost winner! Worth a try if you've never had it. I can usually buy it for $10 or a bit less on sale, which is what I got it for this time $7.99.
