Good, worthwhile under $30/bottle Cabernet from Napa Valley has never been harder to obtain. The category has almost completely dried up, especially as the economy and the environment have taken turns wreaking havoc over the past few years. I’ve started to look into the California Cabernet pool for the 2021 vintage, and unfortunately, I can confidently say that there will be no under $30 selections.
Luckily, the quality of the 2019 vintage in Napa was absolutely fantastic and I have something special for us from a big name that you all know. I guess we’ll call this a bit of a swan song… or a duck song, if you will.
Today’s Cab comes from the visionary Dan Duckhorn, who many consider to be a wine genius. The man is a Napa Valley icon, and his gutsy decision to expand his portfolio to other regions and other varietals took the brand to heights few would have imagined.
One of his greatest decisions was the creation of Decoy almost 30 years ago. The concept was to build a brand to help support the uber famous, Three Palms Merlot. But, as most of you know, Decoy wines have become a household name of their own accord – with a reputation for delivering unrivaled quality at a sensational price.

Avignonesi’s wines took Nicholas Wines by storm last year with their ‘Grifi’ SuperTuscan, a highly rated, highly delicious bottle that put the winery firmly on my radar. It’s a great bottle of wine, but at this price – it completely overdelivers which is exactly what you’re looking for.
Anne Sery describes her Trousse Chemise Cabernets as an ode to the Left Bank and her winemaking roots. It’s a beautiful and fresh Cabernet with aromas that leap from the glass with of black raspberry, violets, and creme de liquor notes. The mouth gives generous amounts of juicy black fruits at the core with hints of baking spice and a smooth, savory finish. This is a terrific partner for just about anything from hard cheese, to poultry, summer salads, you name it!

“The 2021 Malbec Reserva, from Vistalba, Lujan de Cuyo, was 60% aged in barrels for 12 months. Purple in color. The nose presents notes of fresh plum and violets, white pepper, strawberry, hints of spice and aromas from the aging process. It’s initially indulgent in the mouth, with good fat, and volume and a velvety texture. The flavors are bold and full-bodied. This 2021 overdelivers at the price.” -Vinous

“Vignon’s 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape delivers even more than I hoped for based on a previous sample. Hints of garrigue, roses, cherries and raspberries appear on the nose, while the palate is full-bodied, silky and long, with an intense, almost briny finish. The assemblage is 50% Grenache, 10% each Mourvèdre and Syrah, plus smaller proportions of seven other permitted varieties, while the élevage includes foudres, demi-muids, concrete and wooden tanks, plus terracotta amphorae.”
