Re: Good Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Under $15

I recently had one cab by Zellerbach Estates that was 9.00 US, and very good for the price. I usually buy in the 20-40 US range, since I dont drink wine all that often - when I do, I want the good stuff. The Zellerbach definitely tasted better than it cost!

Re: Good Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Under $15

I am really a big fan of the Clos du Val 2002 vintage from the Stage Leap district of Napa Valley. About 75USD per bottle now. I was buying it for about 24USD about 5 years ago.

Really nice. Their 2004 and 2005 vints are quite nice as well within the 15USD range.

Re: Good Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Under $15

I also will agree with Hahn Estates + J Lohr Seven Oaks (also their cheaper Cypress line). Both very good for the price.

Other quality brands you might consider include:

Avalon
Chateau Ste Michelle (same producer as Columbia Crest)
Columbia Crest Grand Estates or Two Vines (I prefer the Grand Estates)
Penfolds
Rosenblum
Sebantiani
337 Cellars

Re: Good Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Under $15

Somebody mentioned Sequoia Grove. Wonderful cab but not under 15 bucks (25-40 depending on where you are).

My choice would be Rex Goliath Cabernet (about $5). This wine was a wonderful surprise when I found it a few years back. It has declined a bit in quality since then but it is still a good value.

Here's a link:

Re: Good Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Under $15

There have been some good deals on the Louis Martini cab recently. $10 a bottle +/-. Good buy for the price

Wolf Blass is great. Costco usually has it, as do Meijer stores here, and many grocery stores.

That Penfolds got a 91 rating and can be found many places for $10. It's a staple at my house and I would recommend it to anyone!

Re: Good Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Under $15

My favorite Cab is far and away Tall Horse out of South Africa.

If you can find it, you'll also find a wonderful price tag associated to it: $6

I always have a few bottles of this around and it has always been wonderful.

Re: Good Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Under $15

My picks for good AND very reasonably priced are.....

- Barefoot Wine & Bubbly (really like the Merlot & Pinot Grigio)

and

- Oak Leaf Vineyards: A Fine Wine at a Great Price (bought at Walmart to cook with but really like the taste)
