Menage a Trois Cabernet Sauvignon California Red Wine 750 ml

The name carries the grape: Cabernet Sauvignon. Our grape research describes it as a red variety grown across many wine regions, one that often builds firm wines and is a frequent presence in red blends. The name also states California as the origin.

We do not have a shopper rating for this wine. For what the grape tends to bring, regional authorities point to black currant, cherry, and plum as the fruit those wines are often compared with, alongside noticeable tannin and possible spice from oak. Our grape research adds that ripeness, climate, and winemaking can push a Cabernet lean and herbal in style or broad and fruit-led. The brand's own site states its owner and operator: Trinchero Family Wine and Spirits. If you are choosing at the shelf, read the grape name as a guide to that general style, not a promise about how this particular bottle tastes.

Among the lower-priced reds we track, its prices ranged from $12.99 to $17.99 across seven stores in our September 2026 checks.

Ménage à Trois built its name and reputation on a three-grape red blend, and the brand's own history page still frames its whole portfolio around it, inviting shoppers "boldly curious" enough to "experiment threely." This bottling, despite carrying that name, is a single-varietal Cabernet Sauvignon rather than the three-grape wine the brand story describes. On its own product page the producer sources the fruit from California's North Coast and ages it in both French and American oak, describing the result as showing "bold, dark fruit flavors, exquisitely silky tannins, and a long, savory finish" in what it calls a "smooth, approachable style." No alcohol level, rating, or blend percentage is published for this SKU.

Our call: this suits a shopper who wants an inexpensive North Coast Cabernet Sauvignon with real winemaking detail behind it, French and American oak aging among them, even though the Ménage à Trois name itself points to the brand's three-grape blend rather than this single-varietal bottling. Pass if a shopper rating matters to your choice; none has reached our record for this wine, and the producer names no alcohol level either.
