Like it or not, Napa Cabernet Sauvignon has the honor of being our most coveted domestic wine. This is reflected in its astronomic prices. Mondavi Reserve and Beringer Private Reserve Cabernets both retail for over $100 now and the cult wines are stratospheric. Harlan and Screaming Eagle, for example, sell for well over $1,000 per bottle. Yikes! We frequently look to other appellations like Washington State or California Central Coast to find good quality Cabernet at value prices. That doesn't mean we've given up on Napa values.
Here are two new Napa Cabernets we recently added to our Cabernet selection:
2009 Michael Mondavi Oberon Cabernet, $21 - 91WE (currently being poured by the glass in the Tasting Room)
2009 Edge Cabernet Sauvignon, $23 - 92WE
