Estrella
de Pascua Cabernet Sauvignon/Syrah (SKU 259051, $9.76 tax included)
There is a promotion going on at LDB for this Chilean red
wine. The promotion is buy this and a 6 pack of a Holland beer and get $5 off. The wine itself
is $3.50 off and the beer is $1.50 off if bought together. When I saw this, I
thought it is a joke. How can there be a red wine under $10? There was no
vintage on the bottle! I bought one just to try and paired it with some Chinese
food in a restaurant. The wine was surprisingly fresh with a medium body. There
was a hint of dark fruits on the palate. The finish was short but it went well
with some everyday Chinese food. The alcohol content is only 12.5%, so it is
not overwhelming. This would be a good wine to pair with some simple Chinese
food or drink at a backyard barbeque. I have not tasted the beer and cannot
comment on it. There is ample supply in the LDB stores. I recommend it just for
fun. The promotion is good until March 31, 2020.
