The race for best value California Cabernet Sauvignon of the year is over: this is the winner going away. If you love California Cab’s rich blackcurrant and blackberry fruit, dash of chocolate, sweet spice, full body and fine and firm tannins that are ready to party with a steak, then you’ll definitely enjoy drinking this.
The value part of the wine is all about sourcing the grapes from two regions better known for supplying blending Cab to Napa wineries. About 40% is from warm, inland, sites in Monterey County and 60% is from Lake County, just a bit north of Napa. The quality portion of the deal is about a great California Cabernet vintage – 2022 is going to be legendary! – and careful farming plus straight-ahead winemaking including 10 months in barrel for spice and complexity. Put all that together with the lowest price we can find in the USA, and what do you have? The best value California Cabernet of 2024!
For You If: You love $30+ California Cabernet Sauvignon and love paying way less than half that to get a good one; you’re looking for a year ‘round, all-purpose, California red that will be as much at home with a high-end steak as a humble burger or brats from the grill, or even just sipped solo.
Not For You If: You’re looking for elegance or finesse – this is all about bold fruit, rich texture, and lots of almost-chewy tannin.
“Ripe, dark-fruited character with notes of cloves, vanilla, cedar and hint of pine needles. Full-bodied, creamy and luscious, with fine tannins and a deep core of fruit in the middle. Succulent finish. Drink or hold.”
