Bonanza is made by Chuck Wagner (owner of Caymus) and under $20. I like it

Daou can be found for under $20 from what I recall at Costco but google shows it as $21.97 at Total Wine, FYI

Interested to hear others favorites under $20

Bonanza (made by the family that brings you Caymus) can be had for $17 at Total Wine.

Earthquake Cabernet for about $17 at Total Wine, more expensive elsewhere.

Harvester Cabernet for $19.99 at Total Wine

The Pessimist from Dao, Red Blend, also under $20.

You want a cabernet under $20.00 and your favorite wine is Caymus. Bonanza is just under $20.00. It is made by the Camus people in the same style as Caymus. The big difference is the quality of the grapes. The Bonanza grapes come from from vineyards that are not nearly as exclusive as Caymus' vineyards.

Martin's Wine Cellar Bin series. Apparently excess grapes from well known but anonymous wine producers. Amazing value.

I don't drink much wine, but when I do it is the reds I prefer. I like B&G wines in Cabernet and Cabernet/Sauvignon when I feel like a red wine.

Reasonably priced and tastes just fine to me.

This may have been tongue in cheek, but my wife loves that brand and Black Box Chardonnay. For a box wine, it is pretty decent, according to her since I don't drink Chardonnay.

For a cab in that range, I usually stay away from California and go for something South American. You can get way more for your money at that price point in Mendoza or other regions.

Liberty Creek. You can actually buy three bottles for $21.

Real answer is Earthquake. It's under $20 at Total Wine.

I’m no expert, but I’ve introduced that wine to some of my wine drinking friends and they’ve all agreed it’s pretty damn good for a sub $20 bottle. Give it a try.

If you like Caymus buy Bonanza.

It’s their cheap cab.

Super good. Vintage so you don’t have to worry about it being a young bottle.

Also you can get it lol 15.99 at Zapardos.
