Our take
What we make of this bottle
In our September 2026 checks this California Cabernet ranged from $11.49 to $23.99. That low end is one of the cheaper reds we track. The name also carries a number, 337, and Noble Vines has an account of what it means.
Cabernet Sauvignon is a red grape grown across many regions, one that often makes firmly built wines and is a common part of blends as well. Official guides for the grape point to dark fruit such as black currant, cherry and plum, with a grip of tannin and possible spice from oak. How ripe the fruit gets, and how warm the season runs, can swing the wine from lean and herb-edged to round and full of fruit.
It has drawn 20 ratings as of August 12, 2026, for an average of 4.75 out of five. What that score cannot settle is which side of Cabernet ended up in the bottle.
Noble Vines' account for this label narrows the origin and answers that question. The producer places the fruit in Lodi, California, and says the 337 designation traces to a vine stock that "originated in Bordeaux, France," the producer's words, credited with the "rich, dark fruit flavors and fine tannins" that earned the 337 stock its reputation. The producer ages the wine in French and American oak for a minimum of three months and lists the finished wine at 14.5 percent alcohol. Its own tasting notes describe aromas of black cherry, blackberry and violet, with flavors of black fruit compote, clove and black currant, and call the structure "dense and jammy" with bold tannins, pointing this bottle toward the fuller, riper side of the style the category guides describe.
Our call: the overlap is the appeal here, a Cabernet among the least expensive reds we track with a steady average from 20 shoppers behind it, and it suits the shopper hunting exactly that combination; Noble Vines' own account, naming Lodi, California and the Bordeaux-origin 337 vine stock, adds a documented origin on top. Pass if the shopper record is what carries the most weight for you: the 20 ratings behind that above-median average are still a modest pool.

Research status
What we are still checking
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
