FitVine California Cabernet Sauvignon 750 ml

The origin the listing gives is California, where in our September 2026 checks the same 750 ml bottle was priced between $14.99 and $21.99 across the seven stores in our checks. 5 shoppers have rated this one. The average of those ratings is 2.4 out of five. We can name the brand, Fitvine, but a confirmed account of who makes it is not something we have yet.

Cabernet Sauvignon grows in wine regions around the world, and grape research says it tends to make firmly built reds that also turn up as part of a blend. Official guides point to black currant, plum and cherry, along with a drying grip of tannin and a little spice when oak is involved, though how ripe the grapes get and what the cellar does can push the same grape toward a lean, herbal style in one bottle and a broad, fruit-forward one in another.

FitVine was founded in 2015 by two friends without formal sommelier training who built the brand around wine for active, health-conscious drinkers, the producer's own about page says; its technical sheet backs that pitch with a nutrition breakdown most labels skip, listing 0.12 grams of sugar, 121 calories and 4.8 grams of carbohydrates in a 5-ounce glass. On strength, the sources disagree: the producer lists 13.5 percent alcohol for that same glass, while an independent retailer's listing for the identical bottle gives 13.9 to 14.1 percent, a gap neither side has resolved. That retailer's page, uncorroborated by FitVine's own site, also places the fruit in California's San Joaquin Valley near Parlier and cites a Silver Medal from the San Francisco Wine Competition.

Our call: worth a look if a stated low-sugar, low-calorie approach matters more to you than a traditional pedigree; FitVine backs that pitch with a full nutrition breakdown on its own technical sheet, an unusual level of disclosure for a bottle at this price. Pass if you want the details to line up cleanly; the producer and an independent retailer report different alcohol strengths for the same wine, and the retailer's claims about sourcing and a competition medal have not been corroborated on FitVine's own site.
