Even though it is summer, there's still a place for red wine — especially around the barbecue. This is a classy California cabernet sauvignon for a great price. It has lower alcohol, at 13.8%, with classic cabernet aromas of blackberry along with the oak spice. It is quite elegant with an easy drinking style.
