"Zac" Brown (of the Zac Brown Band) is a Grammy award-winning musician, and since founding Z. Alexander Brown Winery in 2016, he has been one of the few celebrities whose passion for wine actually translates into a top-notch and affordable product. His "Uncaged" Cabernet carries the appellation of "California"; but it far exceeds the quality of most such broadly appellated wines! We don't know precisely where the fruit comes from (the winery only says "from Northern California Coastal vineyards"), but this is high-quality fruit, reflected by If you are a fan of top-flight California Cabernet but dismayed by its rising price, Z Alexander Brown's "Uncaged" Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 is a great opportunity to obtain the quality you crave at a price you can afford. "Uncaged" is a wine we've carried on and off for years, and the wine's pedigree is really superb- more often than not, it sports a 90-plus point rating- and the 2019 vintage may be the best yet! We never judge a wine by its label, and celebrity tie-ins don't impress us. At Finewine.com, it's all about the wine...and this fantastic value will not disappoint at our Wine of the Week sale price of just $16.98! Call 301-987-5933 or order online NOW. |

In the perpetual hunt for great wines at modest prices, it is increasingly rare to find California Cabernet Sauvignon that can meet both parts of that equation. Finding impressive California Cab isn't too difficult, and there are quite a few inexpensive options as well, but, to paraphrase Kipling, the twain rarely meet. So today's feature wine, the 2019 Z Alexander Brown "Uncaged" Cabernet Sauvignon, is a welcome discovery! "Uncaged" is a truly impressive Cabernet that captures California's trademark fruity richness while also echoing the balance of Cabernet-based blends from France's famed Bordeaux region. And as to the affordable part of the equation, our

If we were blind tasting the 2019 "Uncaged", we'd assume it to cost considerably more than our current sale price- it compares well with Golden State Cabs pricing in the $20-25 range.

It shows subtle oak-spice aromas, concentrated black-cherry flavors and lavish fine-grained tannins that massage the palate."
