Cabernets under $35 tasting...
Posted by mkuller on February 19, 2016 at 10:28:01:
...group of 7 tasted 7 cabs blind - low score is the favorite.
7. 2013 Cameron Hughes Lot 600 Oakville - $25 - 36pts - one first
6. 2012 Chateau St. Jean Sonoma - $24 - 32pts - one first
5. 2013 Oberon Napa - $22 - 32pts - one first (and one second)
4. 2013 Louis M. Martini Sonoma - $15 - 31pts
3. 2013 Stuhlmuller Alex. Valley - $34 - 26pts - one first
2. 2013 H3 Washington - $10 - 25pts - one first
1. 2013 Earthquake Lodi - $25 - 14pts - two firsts
Interesting since almost every wine was someone's first choice. The Earthquake was by far the favorite, but the H3 (available at Safeway) is the bargain.
A Lodi wine won last month's zin tasting as well so their wines must be getting better.
