Is there another cab besides a dry one?
I recommend going to a local wine shop. A small one and tell them what you like and get recs.
Get the wine book from Wine Folly and read too.

Cabs $20-30
Dao
Justin
Any Oregon Pinot from $15-25
Branch out…
Any Rioja Tempranillo above $15 will be delicious in my experience.
Italy has some great varietals as well.
Sangiovese
Montepulciano
Barolo
Super Tuscan
Also try Shiraz from Australia.
Usually budget friendly.
And there are many wonderful California Red Blends.

Oregon Pinot Noir.

Not under $30, but run about $35, I’ve never had a bad bottle of Frog’s Leap. I especially like their merlot.

B&G is one a gal bartender friend of mine turned me on to several years ago. Not sure what it costs now since I'm not a big wine drinker and my wife prefers the Black Box Chardonnay now---so we mostly only buy bottles of wine when we're going to throw a party and have several friends over.

Great wines but $30 can be a tough number to hit.

this.
I was primarily a Malbec and Cab girl until we did several wine tasting weekends there.
a lot of the wines will be in the upper price range, but you will not regret paying for the quality that you'll get.
some of my favorite vineyards from the Willamette Valley are
Archery Summit
Dominio IV
Anacréon
Domaine Serene
Coeur de Terre
Corazon Del Sol
please let us know what you end up trying and what you like!

Haven't had Greenwing or Neyers, but the other two are not particularly "dry"

Apothic Inferno is damn good.

Boxed wine ain’t bad, great value. Natural Origins, organic. Argentina

From what I understand, boxed wines don’t have tannins, which is good for a lot of people.

If they want to drink Merlot, we’re drinking Merlot.
No, if anyone orders Merlot, I’m leaving. I am NOT drinking any f***ing Merlot!

Meiomi’s Pinot Noir is pretty good and easy to find. Costco has a really good price on it.

another vote for Bonanza. Wente and Freakshow two more of my favorite in your price range.

Tannins are pulled from seeds and skins of the grapes being crushed. Being in a box shouldn't have an effect on the tannin level.
