Marcus James Cabernet Sauvignon 2004

This cheap wine is a delicious wine for the price ($4.79!). This Argentinian wine really has more to offer than you would expect from a wine that costs less than 5 dollars.
Marcus James Wine
Deep ruby-red in color, this cheap wine was very dry and crisp and had a very agreeable finish that seemed not to overstay its welcome on your tongue as if to urge you along to another sip.

The Marcus James website
describes this wine as having aromas of berries, tobacco, cocoa, vanilla, pepper and spices. While I certainly didn’t notice all of those last night, I’m willing to give it another shot. I’m giving this cheap wine the “Best cheap wine under 5 dollars” award for now. Congrats Marcus James!

Price:$4.79
Alcohol content: 13%
Enjoyed with: Sausage and cheese

    Hey,,,My wifes co. holliday party was held at our local T.C. Golf and Country Club and we both loved the house red. We inguired about it and were told it would not be availabe in the stores, so I did some research and found a local store owner that said “if they can get it I can get it” we ordered two cases. We will be ejoying it for awhile to come. These were the big bottles for $7.16 per bottle after case discount.

    Unbelieveable. Someone gave me a bottle of this wine. After tasting it, I was so impressed that I tried researching it on the internet, expecting it to be $20. and up range. And after doing a “google” search, one of the sites returned was “Cheap Wines”. I was shocked to find this was under $5.00. Amazing deal!!!!

    I have been drinking this wine for about a year and I always buy and compare it to others in the same price range. I find this wine to be among the best in its category.

    My wife and I have been wine drinker for well over 10 years. Yesterday (Christmas) we were going to have people over and I noticed we were extremely low on wine. So I headed out to our local ABC and found it too busy so I ended up in K-Mart (to buy other stuff) and noticed this wine on sale. I had never tried it or even heard of it. Let me tell you…It was the talk of the night. I couldn’t believe that this wine was so good. Like the previous comments…..it really doesn’t overstay the invite. Congrats to Marcus James!!!!

    I just got this wine to try another ‘”chip” red, thinking that sometimes I find a good one. This was actually very good, with a beautiful color and rich taste; I could full any wine connoisseur telling them that this is a $20-$25 bottle wine.

    I saw this wine on sale and tried a bottle thinking it would give me a major headache. Surprisingly, there was no headache and I enjoyed it so much that I returned to the store and bought two cases.
