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.

“The 2020 Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is truly sensational. It begins with striking aromas of fresh blackberries, blueberries and dark plums that are laced with fresh spring florals, mocha, sweet exotic spices, graphite and gravel nuances all taking shape. The palate is full-bodied and displays a remarkable combination of power and elegance throughout. This is beautifully structured and extremely expressive, as it possesses outstanding depth and concentration all they way through the long, finessed finish. Year after year, the Columbia Valley Cabernet is one of the most impressive wines, and there is no exception here, as it combines all the wonderful qualities of the 2020 vintage from Quilceda Creek into one expression. This is fantastic already and readers will be in for a real treat, as this simply marvelous wine will continue to deliver the goods for years to come.”
This is a sensational single-vineyard Merlot made from incredibly tiny clusters, full of some of the most elegant, intensely structured fruit from high atop Sonoma Mountain. Beautiful weight and balance with aromas of blueberries, black currants, sage and a hint of cocoa. It’s got a full, plush mouthfeel, pristine and vibrant fruit and a wonderful smooth finish. Thanks to Chad’s big bet on himself, he was able to make a knockout Sonoma Mountain beauty, without the need for any middleman, helping us to enjoy one of his best creations at an outstanding price.
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 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.
