Good Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Under $15

[rcsst12]

I want to get a list of good recommendations for Cabernet Sauvignon wine that is priced $15 per bottle or less. Bottles of Merlot can also be considered but I mostly like cabernet. I enjoy red wines so I just wanted to see what everyone recommends...

I haven't had the rosemont cab, but the shiraz is very nice so I have little doubt the cab is as well. I definitely agree on the black opal. I just picked up a bottle at meijer for 6.50. It is a very good wine IMO.

I will be adding those to my list to try out... I heard about the Berringer Stone something or another (cannot remember the name exactly)

Stone Cellar I believe. Also a nice affordable cabernet. I don't know what prices are like where you live, but all of these wines can be had for about 7-8 bucks a bottle around here (Michigan).

Harlow Ridge is nice and inexpensive.

BlackStone is nice, Lindemans is good too. There are many under that pricepoint.

I like Cycles Gladiator. Give it a try......

I really enjoy the Sterling Vineyards Cabernet. I believe one of their offerings is right at the $15 range here if I remember correctly.

I drink cabernet primarily but there are also some others I would recomend at the $15 price range. Ravenswood Red Zinfendel would be at the top of that list. Any of the Beringer Founder's Estate red's but I I'm not positive these are at $15.

If you decide to splurge at any point with a nice italian dinner I would go with the Ruffino Reserve Ducale Chiante (yellowish label) at about $25 at the store.

Hess Select isn't for about that price.

I recently found Mirassou Cabernet Sauvignon for around $10 a bottle. The first bottle I had was a 2004, which I think must have been a great year for California Cabs, since most 2004's I've had were great right out of the bottle. Tonight I did some testing with a 2006 I found and it needed some time to breath, so with some decanting or just leaving a glass out for 30 minutes to an hour it's enjoyable for under $15.

I'd second that, again the first Hess Select I had was a 2004 and it was great, the more recent ones needed some breathing time. Still great with a nice thick slab of beef.

I really enjoy Jacobs Creek.

Hahn Estates Cab is a good one. Received a 91 rating from tastings.com. I get it on sale for about $12 regularly.
