2018 Grand Napa Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
We love nothing better than finding remedies for the $100 Cabernet blues. This one’s hiding right in plain sight. The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon from Grand Napa Vineyards is everything you want in a Napa red – it’s very approachable, full of sultry, savory black fruit and it’s ready to drink right now:
“ Another terrific wine, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve offers lots of blackcurrants, spice box, tobacco leaf, and chocolatey nuances to go with a full-bodied style on the palate. It has the 2018 vintage’s fresher, more elegant style yet brings ample fruit and has an expansive, layered mouthfeel as well as a great finish.” - Jeb Dunnuck
Need something to pop and pour guiltlessly for guests this season? Need some “cellar insurance” to keep your entourage’s paws off the fancier bottles in the wee small hours of the morning? This ruby nectar’s just the thing.

Aromas of blackberry, bark, coffee and black tea on the nose. Citrus zest, too. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, sleek tannins. Rich flavors, yet it retains freshness. Try from 2022.
