This is really one of the best values in Cabernet- on the market. It’s so deliciously rich in blackberry, currant and chocolate, you’ll want to drink the whole bottle right now. Kudos to winemaker Nick Goldschmidt for producing a wine this good at such a good price.

Shows real class and elegance for a Cab of this price. Ready to drink now, its richly tannic structure provides the framework for dry, complex flavors of blackberries, cherries, red currants, anise and herbs. Give it a few hours of decanting.

For twenty bucks or less, you get a Cabernet that’s lush, soft and rich. The fruity flavors of freshly crushed, ripe raspberries and cherries are accented by hints of smoky oak in this gently tannic wine.

This 100% Cabernet is very rich and forward in classic flavors of blackberries and cassis. Oak barrels bring spicy, smoky, vanilla accents that complement the fruit. The wine is a little soft and herbal in the way of Alexander Valley Cabernets, but is quite elegant, and a good deal for the price.

Very fruity, with tons of blackberries, cherries, currants and cocoa folded into soft tannins. A bit simple, but a nice everyday sipper.
