2. 2014 Columbia Crest Grand Estates Cabernet Sauvignon Excellent wine, outstanding value. Even better than the 2013. 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc. A smooth, supple version of Cabernet Sauvignon. 91 points from Wine Spectator. About $12
Shouldn't this be called a blend?

I believe to label something as a certain varietal, you have to have at least 75% of that varietal in the blend. So in the case above you questioned, no. It can be labeled a Cab Sav rather than a blend.
I may be mistaken on the percentage, and other countries may vary on this. That's just my basic understanding.

Costco has a Pine Ridge Viognier/Chenin Blanc White that goes for about $14. It is my go to white. I buy it by the case. All the time.

My gf's favorite wine. I like it too. Any suggestions for something similar to this stuff?

Thoughts on the casillero so Diablo?
It's a favorite of mine. But I realize that doesn't make it good.

quote:I'm normally a big fan of the Casillero del Diablo wines from Concha y Toro. Both the cabernet sauvignon and the carmenere are usually very good wines at great prices. However, I tried the 2014 cab this year and it was horrible. Not sure if they had an off year or if I just got a bad bottle.

4. 2014 Bogle Essential Red A blend of Old Vine Zinfandel, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petite Sirah. Not quite as good as the 2013 version, but still delicious, light (13.5% alcohol), and can be found most anywhere for under $10. This is another one to buy by the case.
i'm a huge fan of this
great job on this list!

Leaving Martin now and they had the 2013's. I'm giving it a try based on your rating, and I'll keep my eyes open for some 2014's somewhere

Veramonte Primus "the blend" has been a staple for me at about $16.
