Our take

What we make of this bottle

19 shoppers have rated this wine, at an average of 4.16 out of five, which sits in the bottom quarter of the ratings among the wines we track. The grape is Cabernet Sauvignon and the maker is listed as Louis M. Martini, though we have not confirmed an account from the producer for this bottle. The price changes from one store to the next.

Cabernet Sauvignon is a red grape grown in many regions; regional authorities say it often makes firm wines and is often part of a blend. They describe black currant, cherry and plum as common fruit notes, with noticeable tannin and possible spice from oak, and they say ripeness, climate and winemaking can push it toward lean and herbal or toward broad and fruit-led. The wine is from California, and Sonoma appears in its name, but that name does not settle which of those styles is in the glass. One of the September 2026 checks put the bottle as low as $14.99.

By August 12, 2026, the most a store asked for the same wine was $26.99. Across the seven stores in those September 2026 checks, the same Cabernet carried prices anywhere between the two.

Our call: the current shopper ratings argue for patience here; the shoppers who have scored this Sonoma-named Cabernet put it in the bottom quarter of the rated wines we cover. It suits a buyer drawn to the Martini name who gives little weight to shopper ratings, and anyone shopping by score should pass until the average tells a better story.

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.

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.
