Futo OV anyone?

WINE TALK
1

Just placed an order with the winery. At $90/bottle I’m wondering if this is too much to pay for this wine. Which brings me to a question I’ve been asking myself for a while…

There have got be literally TONS of Napa cab producers in the $40 - $60 range that are “under the radar” yet make wines that are better than the corporate wineries that have become household names. In your opinion, who are they? Eight months into 2013 and I’ve tried the following, most of which I’ve found to be really good and fit my criteria:

Hayfork
Myriad
EMH Black Cat
Ghost Block

Others? Thoughts?

I just purchased a few bottles of the OV as well.

Here are a few other cabs that fall into your category:

Rivers Marie - Napa cab is $55
Jones Family - The Sisters is $60
Quivet - Pellet is $65 & Kenefick is $68

Jean Edwards. Karen is around these parts occasionally.

Binny’s has the '09 Futo OV for $85.00

The OV is very good and worth the money in my opinion…I had it at a brown bag a few months ago and it stood up to some wines twice as expensive

I dropped OV just because I have neither the funds nor space for more Napa.
+1 on your list
If you can get on the lists, Drinkward-Peschon and Lewelling.
Snowden “Ranch” and Beau Vigne “Juliet” are also good.
Does anyone know what the Rudd “Crossroads” goes for these days?
I used to like it a lot but stopped buying.
