Whole Foods 365 Everyday Value
Trackers Crossing South Eastern Australia 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon
Price: $6.99
Generally, I like it. Good red table wine. Not terribly complex, but pleasant and highly versatile. I might not take this with me to a dinner party, but I think it is a definite for cooking and a solid contender for an everyday table wine. I would purchase it again for sure.
Flavor: A good mix of spicy and fruity/berry flavors. Definitely great paired with Italian dishes, BBQ, steaks and cheeses (from my experience at least).
Aroma: A little stout, but not too strong.
Complexity: What it lacks in complexity, it makes up in versatility.
Affordability: At $6.99, you can't beat the price.
Enjoyability: Nice.
I feel affirmed. I found this review on the Slash Food blog.
Unlike some of the other wines we tasted, Trackers Crossing is clearly marked as a Whole Foods wine (each bottle depicts the 365 Everyday Value logo). This Cabernet Sauvignon is fruit-forward with a bouquet of spices and black cherries that evolves into a jammy palate before finishing with soft, silky tannins. Cranberry enters mid-palate, too, for a nice touch that also allows this wine to pair well with most any type of food, particularly roasted or barbecue meats. For a lighter alternative, Gouda or any smoked cheese is a good bet.
