I had a great, inexpensive cab sav last night.

2004 Buehler Vineyards / Napa Valley.

This one was unusual for a cab, at least to me. It had a buttery flavor up front with a strong fruit finish. I don’t recall ever having a cab quite like this. I'd say somewhere between medium and heavy bodied with just enough tannin to know it was cab, but very mellow considering how young this was. Just a hint of spice, with plum and blackberry.

This is one that my favorite liquor store recommended. The guys/gals that work the wine center are into wines and are always looking for great finds. Every once in a while I just ask one of them to fill up a couple cases of good wines under twenty bucks and they do a great job.

I'm ordering up a case or two of this one. I think it was about $15
