We went to a fund raiser last evening and the house Cabernet Sauvignon was Nathanson Creek. A brand of Centerra Wine Company, I gather these are mass produced wines for general consumption. Not very big, bold, or biting, this is a smooth red wine that is easy to drink. At $7.50 for a 1.5L bottle, or $50 for a case of 6 x 1.5L, this is a great value for party settings where the wine is not central.
Our table included several wine buffs with nice cellars of their own. Nobody scoffed at this wine, and all of us went back for more (and more). Compared to other party / banquet wines I've had, this is among the best. I will not be uncorking a bottle with my wife and a few friends, but for large gatherings on a budget, Nathanson Creek proves to be a nice wine.
