Just a brief eulogy for an excellent bottle of wine: Thomas & Vaughan 2001 Cabernet (a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc). For $12.50, this wine offers so much flavour that it's difficult to quickly summarize all the positives. This is easily a $25 bottle of wine that's somehow been mislabelled: grab it while you can! I'm planning a fast descent on the T&V winery on Sunday to pick up a case of this amazing wine.
Elizabeth and I rarely agree on wines, so the fact that we both felt this was one of our more expensive wines that had been accidentally mis-labelled spoke volumes. It has a wonderful bouquet and a great blend of flavours on the palate that make this our favourite budget wine for 2004 so far. Go try it yourself, but only after we've had a chance to get a case for our cellar!
Update (July 12): Unfortunately, we learned yesterday that the winery has been taken over by EastDell, and that therefore the prices on the website are out of date. The Cabernet 2001 blend is now $14.95 per bottle, which makes it rather less of a deal than it used to be. Expect things to be up in the air while the new owners decide what to do with their acquisition.
