Lucky Duck Cabernet Sauvignon

To kick off Superbowl, we opened a bottle of Lucky Duck. It's a cheapo $4.00 wine at Wal-mart, but I figured it was worth a try. It's a chilean wine, which commonly is known for "cheap" wine. However, I read somewhere recently that the weather is gradually improving in Chile, allowing it to produce higher quality wines.
It's a very dark wine. It smelled sweet, but wasn't quite as sweet as I predicted. It had a lot of cherry flavor and some berry tastes too. It had a rich, drying feeling, and not much of an aftertaste. Although red wine is supposed to be served at room temperature, I couldn't help but wonder if it would be better chilled. We were drinking it with snacky appetizers, like buffalo wings and chips. I didn't much like sipping it, but thought maybe it was because I paired it wrong.
A few days later, I had a glass with dinner, and we had it with pizza. It tasted better this time around. I'm not sure if it was because of a better food pairing, or if it was simply because the wine had been open for a few days. Either way, the wine itself was a decent $4.00 spent.
