Le Vigne, Paso Robles (Central Coast, California) Cabernet Sauvignon “Di Domenico” 2021 ($28)

I have come to admire this producer for both quality and value, and this wine shows a lot of both of those virtues. I’ve also admired the wines whether tasting un-concealed press samples or when tasting “blind” in multiple wine competitions, so I’m quite confident I’ve got this scored correctly despite its modest price. It is obviously well grown and well made, as everything from its aromas to its flavors and proportions of fruit, wood, and tannins are all just right. It shows a nice spice accent atop the delicious fruit, but isn’t overly woody. Snap this up if you see it.
