And it's not $20-30.

Do you have a Wine App on your phone?
I use Vivino the most, it will help you dodge some bullets at a place like Aquistapace's. Overall I have been pleased with their recommendations and reviews.

Earthquake. Can't go wrong.

Daou is right at about $20 usually.

Obsidian comes in at about $28.00

Good bottle, but should only be about $17-18.

That’s because there are way to many brands of decent wines that fit the criteria you described. You’re not going to get an overwhelming response to one label because everyone will have their favorite.

Most of the wines mentioned are wines that I have enjoyed in the past. You can’t go wrong with Obsidian Ridge, Decoy, or Frank’s Family Vinyard. Although I am pretty sure Frank’s Family will be higher than $30.

If you’re willing to get away from a cab I’ve always enjoyed If You See Kay. This wine is a red blend but drinks similar to a Cab, in my opinion, and has a fun label with a catchy name. It can be hard to find but Alexander carries it or at least they used to carry it.
