"Bigger than life"

"You're a serious Cabernet drinker. You want a wine that's bigger than life. CABZILLA. And the price won't eat you alive."

That catchy quote is from the back of this weekend's bottle: Cabzilla 2002 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon ($15). We picked up this wine two years ago and uncorked it last night for our belated anniversary dinner.

Our notes: Aromas of berry -- raspberry and cherry. Dark, opaque maroon color. Strong, bold taste with moderate tannins. It complemented last night's bacon-wrapped filet mignon and went very well with tonight's spaghetti and meatballs. Kath noticed an underlying smoothness, almost buttery.

We both love big, bold Cabs, and this one satisfied.

Happy anniversary, Kath's mom and dad!

Until the next...
