Despite its recent acclaim, there is still great value to be found in red wine from California’s Lodi region. This Instigator Cabernet Sauvignon retails for $12 yet delivers a rich, juicy palate loaded with blackberry and raspberry fruit and a supple palate for easy drinking now. A Platinum Award winner at the 2020 Sommelier Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
