Best Value Under $15: Villa Mt. Eden "Grand Reserve" Napa Cabernet 2004
Villa Mt. Eden has earned five Wine Spectator Top 100 Awards in the past eight years and it's easy to see why.
This wine has a rich black plum flavor with notes of cocoa running throughout. I could drink this any night of the week, and with a price this low, never feel guilty!
Impress Your Wine Snob Friends: Duckhorn Vineyards Napa Cabernet 2004
Known more for their fabulous merlot, Duckhorn has established itself as the cool kid on the block. However their fabulous cabernet is not to be overlooked by any means. The jammy flavors in this full bodied wine run amok with blackberry, raspberry and essence of fig. It finishes with velvety chocolate tannins that leave you wanting another sip.
Stellar Cellar Christmas Gift: Corison Cabernet 2004
Developed by the legendary Cathy Corison, this Cabernet is a full bodied explosion in your mouth. Wild cherries and currents are featured front and center in this rich and delightful cab and the tannins dance in your inner cheeks with a rich and robust finish. This is a full bodied wine, not for the weak of heart!

Right next door to Corison is Milat Winery:

And while I enjoyed the wines I had at Corison quite a bit, *everything* at Milat (including the cab) beats the pants off of their neighbors'.

Joel Gott 2004 is a delicate delicious Cab. I also like Conn Creek Limited Release 2003 - especially good after some airing.
