I have been enjoying Sinergia from Costco for several weeks. I initially selected it because it was rated 92 points by Wine Enthusiast, it is made with organic grapes and Costco was selling this wine for $9.99. Although we are eating lighter fare and drinking white wines and Pinot Noir during the summer, we have gone through 3 or 4 bottles of this Cabernet.
The grapes for Sinergia are from Valencia on the east coast of Spain. Valencia is better known for oranges than for wine, but there is a thriving wine industry. Monastrell is the most widely grown grape but many other varieties are also grown. Casa Los Frailes has a history dating back 300 years and specializes in Monastrell and other Spanish grapes. The winery's website does not indicated any recent vintages of Cabernet Sauvignon.
Sinergia is a fruit forward, easy drinking Cabernet Sauvignon. There are flavors of blackberry and hints of chocolate with mild tannins. Several websites say that the wine has over 15% alcohol but my bottle claims 14%. In any case, the wine is well balanced and the alcohol is not overpowering. This wine is very flavorful and surpasses almost anything else you can buy for less than $10.
SC Wine Joe rating = 90 points
