The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is not just gorgeous, it is also one of the best values readers will come across. Ripe, juicy and expressive, the 2018 once again hits all the right notes. Inky dark fruit, smoke, licorice, spice and sweet floral accents all race out of the glass. Readers will have a very hard time finding a better wine for the money. The balance of various appellations works so well here. The Caterwaul Napa Valley bottling might just be the finest wine in the market in its price range. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, January 2021)

Love this one every time. IMO one of the best QPR’s at this price point. My last of the 2018s. I hope 2019s are as good.

A surprisingly soft Cabernet that is arguably one of the best wines for the cost that I’ve tasted. Perfectly balanced with a mélange of pleasant notes - anise, black fruit, and gravel. Very enjoyable now, but worthy of cellaring if you have the restraint to wait!!

Really nice to find such a great wine at an excellent value. This is one to enjoy sooner rather than later. Drinks like a higher priced Napa Cab. Expressive nose. Dark fruit. Baking spices. Full bodied. Somewhat grippy tannins. So glad that I picked up a few of these after reading about it. (QPR at $49)
