For those looking for more bang for your Cabernet buck, the Red Hills region of California’s Lake County is a hotbed of serious Cabernet Sauvignon. Stag’s Leap’s Hawk Crest label makes a serious wine from there, as does vineyard veteran Andy Beckstoffer. It is a bright tasting Cabernet—100% varietal—with lots of great flavor and a fresh taste for such ripe fruit. We’ve carried previous vintages of this wine before, and made lots of Cab drinkers very, very happy with their selection.

2004-75 Wine Company Cabernet Sauvignon
Amber Knolls Vineyard
Red Hills, Lake County
The Red Hills appellation of Lake County is California�s hottest new Cabernet territory with exciting wines from Stag�s Leap�s Hawk Crest and now the 75 Wine Company. This is a good Cabby-Cab, grown in volcanic clay and obsidian soil at a high 1,800� to 2,600� elevation by the Beckstoffer family. This fine red has a minerally, earthy taste of crushed blackberries and other black fruits along with just a dollop of oak and a little heat on the tongue. A very good wine and an excellent value.
