There are few things we love more than a great California value Cabernet, and today we have three, each one a serious performer with at least one 93-point score and an unbelievably affordable price. We'll start with the "balanced and elegant" 2023 Method California Cabernet Sauvignon, made entirely from declassified Lake County fruit. "This selection does not disappoint," notes Wine Enthusiast, while James Suckling calls it "so delicious."
Next up, the 2023 Roth Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon boasts some serious quality for its price point, but at its core, this one is all about pure enjoyment for fans of Cali Cab. First off, the 2023 is a classic showcase of what sets Alexander Valley apart from the rest of California when it comes to Cabernet. Plush, red fruits form the wine's identity, while the dusty but gentle tannins, a signature of the AVA, offer a pleasantly balanced foundation that makes this overachieving value star a perfect match for any weeknight occasion or crowded get-together. With rock-solid press, including a 92-point review from James Suckling
Finally, the 2023 Vina Robles Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon shows why Paso Cabernet is very much its own thing, not just another half-hearted attempt at copying the Napa profile. "Rich, spicy and well-structured in tannins, this full-bodied wine tastes bold, deep and intense." James Suckling's 93-point review neatly sums up what Paso Cab is all about, and the 2023 Vina Robles offers a prime example for an easy price.
We're betting you didn't think your next go-to house red would be a California Cabernet at under $20, but here they are. Now all you have to do is make room for a couple cases (of each). |
