What Napa Cabernets would you recommend in the price range of $50 - $70?

I find that $80 - $120 is the range where I find some fantastic representations of Napa Cab. I am not fortunate enough to buy a ton of them annually, but when I shop Napa Cab, this is the price range I usually fall into.

The $150 - $250 is sort of the next level, and although I have had a number of them and enjoyed them, I can’t afford to buy many of those, if any at all.


*side note… I should probably point out that I am ITB, and am producing a Napa Cab starting with the 2008 vintage (Beckstoffer Georges III). But I also buy and love Napa Cab. This question is part research in trying to find out who makes quality Cab for under $70, but I would also like to purchase and save some of these gems for personal consumption.

In my humble opinion, there are certainly some great Cabernets in the $45-$75 range. Some of my favorite cabs in that price range are: Emerson Brown, Meyer Hestan, Anderson Conn Valley and Rivers Marie.

Lewelling & Karl Lawrence (with Rivers Marie) are my go-to at this price point.

Where’s the offer. It’s a buy at that price, for sure.

Private offering.

Bill that’s a good price. That wine actually has some tannins that aren’t all smoothed out and it’s not all minty, so as a result it’s one of my preferred Napa cabs.
