Domaine Boyar Cabernet Sauvignon

The Domaine Boyar Cabernet Sauvignon is a wine from the Thracian lowlands of southern Bulgaria. This Eastern European country was the world's second largest producer of wine in the 1980's but the industry collapsed after the fall of communism.  It is now starting to grow again at about 5% annually.

This deep purple wine smells of plum and spice.  I describe it as a young, medium-bodied wine with flavours including mild plum and slight spice. It is smooth with a slight astringency on the finish.

This wine is not going to win any awards.  It is young and simple but as the least expensive wine I have been able to purchase at the LCBO it is pleasant and quite drinkable. For cost conscious consumers who simply want an inexpensive wine with a steak at home, you could do worse.
