Your Favorite Cabernet Sauvignon under $20

[kyle19125]

That's a tough bracket for a traditional full-flavored Cabernet Sauvignon as I have found the sub-$20 range is typically lighter and less intense in style. Look for Decoy Cabernet Sauvignon which is a second label for Duckhorn Vineyards and routinely priced right at $20 (or slightly less). It has that full well rounded flavor most expect out of a Cabernet. https://www.decoywines.com/Wines/Cabernet-Sauvignon

+1 on the Decoy. Their Red Blend is our House Red, every night wine.

Priced at $19.99 at The H.E.B. here in Austin with a discount for buying 6 brings it to $17.99 a bottle.

Their Cab is priced the same.

Viu Manent La Capilla Estate Cabernet Sauvignon ~$18

Montes Limited Selection Cab/Carmenere ~$15

Casa Silva Gran Terroir de Los Andes Cabernet ~$15

Lapostolle Cuvee Alexandre Apalta Vineyard Cab ~$18

In short, at that price, look to Chile. Some alternatives are:

Languedoc, France
Mendocino County, California
Central Coast of California (Carmel Valley, Paso Robles, Santa Lucia Highlands, Edna Valley, Santa Cruz Mountains)
Australia
South Africa
Greece

Freakshow (Michael David Winery). I had a sample at HEB and it was very good.

Louis Martini, Bogle, Clos du Bois, Sharecroppers.

+1 on looking for blends. Apothic Red is cheaper than all of these I just listed and suits me just fine.

Under $20, my go-to for cab is Kenwood. When I'm feeling like a splurge I'll get a Grgic Hills Estate cab, still under $80.
