Our take
What we make of this bottle
Cabernet Sauvignon is a red grape planted across many wine regions, and grape guides say it often makes firmly built reds, either on its own or as part of a blend. For fruit, those guides point to black currant, cherry and plum as the flavors it commonly shows, with noticeable tannin and possible spice from oak. This particular wine comes from Paso Robles. Regional guides describe that as a large growing area on California's Central Coast, not a single valley, where warm and dry days give way to much cooler nights as marine air pushes inland through gaps in the coastal mountains. We do not have producer details we can vouch for here. If you tend to reach for firmer reds, grape guides place Cabernet squarely in that group.
4 shoppers have rated it. The average of those ratings is 4.25 out of five, which sits below the 4.71 median for the reds we track. The single regular price on record was $16.88 in our August 2026 checks. As grape guides describe the type, ripeness, climate and winemaking can push a Cabernet anywhere from light and herb-tinged to full and fruit-forward.

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 Paso Robles.
Paso Robles is a very large appellation, not one uniform valley. Coastal openings, mountains, river plains and elevation create different growing conditions across its districts.
What the name means
Paso Robles is a federally recognized American Viticultural Area in San Luis Obispo County on California's Central Coast. Eleven named districts divide the larger AVA.
How grapes grow here
Warm, dry summer days are followed by much cooler nights. The Templeton Gap and other openings in the Santa Lucia Range pull marine air inland, with the strength of that cooling changing from west to east.
What lies under the vines
More than 30 soil series occur in the AVA. Calcareous shale and other marine sedimentary rocks are important, alongside granite-derived, volcanic, sandy, loamy and clay-rich ground.
How large the region is
- AVA area
- The appellation covers about 612,000 acres.
- Vineyard area
- More than 40,000 acres are planted to wine grapes.
Places within the region
- Western districts
- Adelaida, Willow Creek and Templeton Gap include hill and mountain sites with stronger coastal influence.
- Eastern districts
- Estrella, Geneseo and San Juan Creek include broader plains and hills farther from the Pacific.

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.
