What is your favorite cabernet savignon wine?

Published by at 1:45 pm under cabernet wine

I would like to add more of my husbands favorite wine lists? What should he taste next?

So far his favorites are:
Clos du Val
Coppola (black label)
Rodney Strong
Kunde
Gallo
Michael Pozzan (cuvee 11)

The best Cabernets I’ve ever had the privilege to drink were …

1964 Inglenook Cabernet Sauvignon, from the days when Inglenook was a top-flight winery, at a wine tasting in 1991;

1974 Mayacamas Cabernet Sauvignon, with rack of lamb in 1996;

2001 Hewitt Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, from Provenance Napa Valley, with Filet Mignon AND rack of lamb in 2005; the other wine served with this course was a 1995 Chateau Lafite-Rothschild.

Three Cabernets that are currently available, which I can recommend from personal experience, include….

Van Der Hayden, Napa Valley
Provenance, Rutherford, Napa Valley
Solis Estate Reserve, Santa Clara Valley

    Dynamite Vineyards—north california grapes… I suggest something 2003 or earlier if you can get your hands on a bottle. Either way I haven’t ever had a bad cab from this label.
    Goes great with a med-rare steak and potatoes…
    Very affordable as well!

    Good luck!
