Our take

What we make of this bottle

The price on this one turns out to be the simple part, so it can wait; the ratings come first. 44 shoppers have rated this California Cabernet. On the five-point scale it holds 4.8. The median across the 483 rated wines we cover is 4.71.

The grape is Cabernet Sauvignon, which we confirmed, and the name states one piece of winemaking outright: Bourbon Barrel Aged. Regional authorities count oak among the places a Cabernet's spice can come from. What the bourbon barrels changed in this particular wine, our research does not record, so this page will not guess.

In the aisle, the name is most of what you have to go on. It tells you time in bourbon barrels is part of how this wine was made; it does not say how long the wine stayed in them. Depending on the store, it runs $13.99 to $20.99. Those prices were logged on August 12, 2026.

Our call: this one is for the shopper who already wants the bourbon-barrel aging the name announces, and the record supports the reach, with an average above the middle of the rated wines we cover from one of the larger rating pools we track. Pass if you prefer a Cabernet without the whiskey treatment, or if you like specifics; the label says the barrels were used but not for how long.

Region guideCalifornia

A little background helps this bottle make sense.

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.

The place

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.

Weather

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.

Soil

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.
Grape guideCabernet Sauvignon

The grape name gives context. It is not a review of this bottle.

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.
