The color is cherry red in the center and it gets progressively lighter as it reaches the sides of the glass. The nose is strawberry fruit roll-ups, spearmint chewing gum and a very faint whiff of baking brownies. A very soft wine, there are no hard edges here. It starts off with strawberry and then blueberry, followed by a little non fizzy cola. There is a hint of chocolate and vanilla on the mid palate, with a late dash of sour cranberry. There really isn’t a finish, the main body of the wine goes on for a while then abruptly ends.
This really isn’t a Cabernet Sauvignon, if Merlot was on the label you wouldn’t notice any difference. What it is, is a very drinkable, very inexpensive bottle of Red wine. It is slightly on the sweet side and the tannins are missing, so there is not a ton of structure, but it has a nice mix of flavors and no “off” flavor or odd textures. I can think of a couple of $5 wines that are far better wines, so the Winking Owl isn’t a home run, but it would make a very useful party wine. A couple of cases would get the party started for a wedding party on a budget or a backyard anniversary party.
Where can I purchase Winking Owl wine in Orange CA
This is my first time pay a visit at here and i am genuinely impressed
to read all at one place.
I discovered winking owl cab a couple years ago. Buying one bottle, I was skeptical. To my surprise, I found it pretty good for under three dollars. I went back to buy several. Working in the resturant business for over thirty years, I’ve tasted and had many wines. Of course, there are better at higher prices, but I’ve had some that have turned bad. I’ve turned friends on to this cab, so for informal parties when you’re on a buget,this is a plus and I’ve never got a headache from it. Once I got a horrible headache from Rothschild … Go figure
Great very drinkable if you’re not into wine that much.

Its an ALDI exclusive
where can I purchase Winking Owl Cabernet Sauvignon, in Rochester NY 14624
It’s an ALDI exclusive
I picked up a bottle of this at my local Aldi yesterday thinking that the worst that could happen was that I was 3 bucks poorer. The reviewer nailed this one except for the “This really isn’t a Cabernet Sauvignon” part. It’s different from your typical California Cab, but very much like Washington Columbia Valley Cabs.
CAN I BUY IT BUY THE CASE OR GALINS
It is available only at an ALDI store, I am sure they can get you all you need
Here in Tampa Florida, we have plenty of ALDI stores. I buy this wine, and also the Merlot from Winking Owl. Both are very good tasting wines, especially for the money.
I hit the roof once when a 15 dollar bottle did not go down as cleanly as a bottle of this 2.99 wine.
