In anticipation of our upcoming Classic American Wines class, I’m highlighting five must-buy standout American Cabernet Sauvignons. These selections are exceptional in quality and come with incredible value—currently available at Pennsylvania wine shops for an average of 40% off retail prices. I’ve listed them from the most to the least expensive. Enjoy!

Inglenook 2018 “Rubicon” Rutherford

Rubicon is not just a wine; it’s the stuff of legend in a bottle. This 2018 wine from Rutherford doesn’t just boast depth-it revels in it. Aromas of black currant, tobacco leaf, and dusty earth really place you in Napa vineyards. In the mouth, it’s a masterclass in marrying power and elegance.

Stemmy, dark fruit yields chocolate, cedar, and the minerality that is a hallmark of the classic “Rutherford dust.” The tannins are structured and graceful, leading to a long finish. 

J. Bookwalter 2021 “Protagonist” Cabernet Sauvignon, Columbia Valley

This is not a tale the protagonist tells; it will beat you down with an oak hammer. The 2021 vintage from Columbia Valley is an example of Bookwalter’s skill in balancing intensity and muscularity. The nose, ripe blackberries, and cassis with a hint of smoky vanilla smell like a donut shop arsonist.
