Whenever Pris and I go to H.E.B. she often looks at the wines to see if there were any gems worth picking up. One wine she always thought about, but never bought was Rex Goliath's Cabernet Sauvignon. At $5 a bottle, it could be an excellent deal or a royal flop. Since we no longer really have a decent go-to table wine we decided to give the Rex Goliath a try this week.For $5 a bottle the Rex Cab isn't a bad little table wine. That said, this is one of the fruitiest Cab's I ever had. Ripe raspberry and plum dominated the nose, and gave a hint of what was to come. On the palate the wine is big and fruity with more raspberry and plum. Exceptionally soft tannins allowed for a soft and smooth finish. This Cab was very reminiscent of a Beaujolais or a fruitier Merlot.
If you enjoy a fruitier red, the Rex Goliath Cab is definitely a great everyday wine to have on hand. At $5 a bottle, the price is pretty unbeatable and since its carried at H.E.B. you can acquire it at a number of locations throughout the Valley.
