An earthy bold red with a nice balance of acidity and fruit. This has a minty finish. I like this but I don’t love it fresh out of the bottle. It will be interesting to see how it tastes after breathing. Tom: This is dry and tannic, tasting of bitter chocolate and dark fruit. Although it’s dry, it has a “big” fruit taste, so it seems new world rather than old world. This is very good, and I would definitely get this Veo Grande Cabernet Sauvignon again.

It is delicious after decanting. I love it! A dark, bitter chocolate finish. Lovely!

I tried Veo Grande Cabernet Sauvignon 2005 and really liked it. It’s not your typical cab – very smoky and earthy. An unbeatable deal for six or seven bucks at Sam’s Club if you like the unusual flavor.

Enjoyable bottle of wine. I agree it is very fruity and new world. I found it @ sams club this past weekend and it was $9.

Good job! Glad to know it is still available at Sam’s Club. We haven’t shopped at Sam’s for several months. Perhaps it is time for us to make another Veo Grande run!

Yes, the Veo Grande definitely needs some air before tasting. After that we found it to be our favorite sub 5 euro red we had so far. Delicious!
Thumbs up for your very inviting blog, we’ll try some of the recommended treats.
