I purchased a bottle of Red Diamond CS 2005 on recommendation of the salesman at the liquor store. I'm hooked! It was delicious and that says alot coming from me!

I thought he was full of it. Well to my suprise I think he is right. If there is a better caberent out there anywhere near this price let me know. I have served it repeatedly at dinner parties using the old taste test. Everyone one my guests (who drink a lot of red) said this was an absolutely outstanding wine. With that said, I don't think the Red Diamond Shiraz or Merlot are all that distinctive, but the Red Diamond Cabernet Sauvignon- Magnificent!

Unlike the previous poster, I must have purchased an untainted bottle. My observations on this wine is that it has nice dark fruit flavors, enough complexity, and better mouth feel then most cabs in this price range. It is certainly a "drink now" candidate as the tannins are barely noticable. A very solid bargain cab. I found this selection on sale for $5.99.

Although I was tempted to buy two bottles (based on Tim's 89 rating above and the low price), I, nevetheless, curbed my enthusiasm. Boy, am I glad I did. Unfortunately, what I got had apparently started turning to vinegar. In fairness to the wine maker, I believe this wine had not been stored properly, had probably sat too long in too much sun and heat and showed signs of being cooked. I went back to the vendor on this one and got a fair offer from him to try another one, recive a credit or receive a refund--my choice. I went with a credit against a purchase I was making anyway.</p> I spotted some 05 Red Diamond CS on 2/23/08 on sale for $5.99.
