If there’s one request I get more than any other – it’s for lip-smacking, fruit-packed Cabernet for under $30. The problem is that with few exceptions (CHAD, Carl Roy, Juliana Layla), explosive Cabernet for less than thirty bucks is as rare as an pessimistic Eagles fan or an optimistic Met’s fan. It’s an impossible find.
A few months ago, I was dutifully tasting blind through a series of Cabernet’s from Double Canyon – three in total. I’ve always been a fan of their lineup. Sixty-five dollar wines that frankly over deliver and consistently garner 92-94+ from the experts.
The price tag was too high though, despite the wines being excellent– that was until we got to the third and final wine.
Here it was– exactly what you’ve been asking for. An absolutely fruit-packed, food-friendly Cabernet that Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate describes as “Bursting from the glass with a dramatic bouquet of ripe cherries, sweet berry liqueur… core of ripe fruit, good balancing acids and ripe but youthfully chewy tannins.” James Suckling lobbed on another 90-point score as if that would matter.
But, could we get it for less than $30? You bet. $25 at the winery. $21.25 today for the Nicholas family.

#3 Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines of 2021
96 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 95 Points, Wine Spectator
We are one of the very few folks who have Wine Spectator’s #3 Wine of the Year. This is definitely not one to miss. The 2016 vintage showcases this prized vineyard in all its glory; notes of wild black fruit, thyme, mint, eucalyptus, and bay are lifted and enjoyed with the polished tannin and mouthwatering freshness of this wine. Regarded as one of the best vintages in the last few decades, the 2016 Martha’s Vineyard has been aged to perfection for immediate enjoyment at release and will continue to reward for the next 20+ years.
#24 Wine of the Year (2022), Wine Spectator
92 Points, Wine Spectator – 91 Points, James Suckling
“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.”
This is Joe Wagner and Quilt’s inaugural Red blend called Threadcount. It is a total knockout at the price point for this style of wine. It’s a big voluptuous wine and very fruit forward. The nose is straight up dark chocolate dipped raspberries and it tastes of fresh-baked blueberry pie, spice, and a touch of toffee. It’s the kind of quality blend that you’ve come to expect from the family behind Caymus.
It’s always nice to be in good standing with one of the most beloved wine brands in America! These won’t last long! This is an opulent, powerful dark-fruited Cabernet with tightly woven tannins, that is just raring and ready to go. Textbook, full-bodied, revved up and ready to go, this new Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet is the definition of a crowd pleaser.
