I love this easy-to-drink 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon from McPrice Myers that well overdelivers for its price. Deep ruby-purple, it has alluring aromas of cassis, pencil shavings, dried herbs, leather and lavender, plus classy touches of oak spice. The full-bodied palate is concentrated and powerful without going over the top. It has abundant, grainy tannins, flinty streaks and plenty of refreshing acidity to carry the long finish. It's not your average chocolate bomb California Cabernet, despite its modest price tag. It should be easy to find, with 12,000 cases produced.

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon M is peppery and perfumed with dusty rose and raspberry tones complicated by nectarine and crushed chalk nuances. Velvety and refined, this possesses depths of wild berry fruits and zesty spices propelled by juicy acidity. It finishes with tension, yet quite fresh, with a tannic crunch and lingering blackberry hints.
