This base-model Trius Cabernet Sauvignon is a steel for under $15; with all of its rich coffee, black cherry, smoky vanilla and even some earthy notes (to help keep it grounded) all derived after only 7 months in a mix of French and American oak … it’s a wine that’ll get you excited looking forward to the 2015 Showcase version that is bound to show up next year … but you’ll be happy to have this to tide you over till then.  Price: $14.95 – Rating: ****+
