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.

Always the one with the most personality of the bunch, this is what Wine Enthusiast had to say about the 2021 release: “This extremely ripe and bold style of Pinot Noir will please those seeking such lushness. Dark in the glass, it begins with black cherry, toasty caramel and cola milk shake aromas.” The cool, coastal days and abundance of sunshine lines up perfectly for a wine that has a good natural acidic backbone, with bold fruit-forward flavors. In an easy 2021 vintage, Joe Wagner had a field day with this single-vineyard beauty.
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!

“This supple red shows a core of cherry and plum fruit allied to olive, juniper and tobacco notes. Delivers well-integrated tannins and acidic structure, lingering nicely on the finish.”
The newly released Fiancetto Howell Mt. Cabernet is a dream – a gorgeous, elegant dark-fruited Cabernet Sauvignon that is it picks up time in the glass, unfurls its full signature of cedar laced cassis nose and mid palate of chocolate-covered cherries and savory spices. Only four palates of this (224 cases) were made off a gorgeous, sprawling high elevation spot 1500 feet above sea level. It’s full and plush and finishes fresh and oh so long. The price is crazy for Howell Mountain Cabernet but that’s what Ry Richards and Fiancetto is all about.
