Our take
What we make of this bottle
This is a California Cabernet Sauvignon in a 750 ml bottle. The shopper score so far is 5 out of five, on a small sample: the number of ratings so far is 1. Grape research says Cabernet Sauvignon grows in many regions, often makes a firmly built red, and is a frequent partner in blends. The fruit references authorities reach for are black currant, cherry and plum, alongside noticeable tannin and possible spice from oak. Those same guides say how ripe the grapes get, the climate and the winemaking can push the grape toward a lean, herbal style or a broad, fruit-led one.
The Wine Group's account is that it launched Chloe as part of its portfolio. In our September 2026 checks the lowest observed price was $13.49 and the highest was $15.99.
Chloe's own product page for this bottle gives the tasting note the earlier paragraph lacked: “luscious flavors of black cherry, ripe plum and dark chocolate,” with hints of roasted coffee and cinnamon bark, the brand's words for what it calls a “bold, sophisticated wine,” full-bodied with sturdy tannins and a long finish. The producer does not publish the blend percentages, the alcohol level, or a specific California growing area for this bottling. The winemaker behind the label is named: Andrea Brambila, whom the brand credits with leading Chloe's winemaking for nearly twenty years, sourcing fruit from California, Italy and New Zealand across the range.
Our call: go with it if a named winemaker and a tasting note stated by the producer are enough to go on; Andrea Brambila leads winemaking across the Chloe range, and the brand describes this Cabernet as full-bodied with black cherry, plum and dark chocolate flavors. Pass if you want the blend, the alcohol level, or a specific growing area confirmed before you buy; the producer publishes none of those for this bottling, and the shopper rating so far rests on a small sample.

Research status
What we are still checking
Our overview above draws on the dated store feed, shopper ratings, our region and grape research, and any sourced producer facts. We are still working to confirm the current release, the full producer record, and the bottle itself, and we update this page as we learn more.
Getting to know California.
California on the label is useful provenance but weak detail about place. For these wines, sourcing disclosure, blend construction and house-style consistency carry more decision value than a generic climate paragraph.
What the name means
A state-level appellation, broader than an individual American Viticultural Area. It permits a multi-region blend and does not by itself identify one climate or soil.
How grapes grow here
The state spans cool maritime zones and hot inland valleys. A California designation alone does not reveal which conditions shaped the fruit.
What lies under the vines
At state scale, sourcing and house-style construction matter more than any single soil story.
How large the region is
- Reusable question
- Which counties or AVAs supplied the blend, and did that mix change by release?
Places within the region
- Resolution limit
- County, AVA and vineyard claims begin only when the release names them.
Getting to know Cabernet Sauvignon.
Cabernet Sauvignon is a red grape grown in many wine regions. It often makes firmly built wines and is also a common part of red blends.
Category guide
What to expect in the glass
Regional authorities describe black currant, cherry and plum as common fruit references, with noticeable tannin and possible spice from oak. Ripeness, climate and winemaking can move the wine from lean and herbal to broad and fruit-led.
