At least I gave disclosure.
Only 59% cabernet but Girard Artistry gets my vote. Don't do much Napa though. That may be the only 07 I have had. At least I gave disclosure.
At least I gave disclosure.Thanks for the note. I had never had any, but the reviews here and on CT lead me to a cab tasting where it was poured, very impressed. There really is a lot of great wine at this price. Also on sale that night just over $35.00 was Robert Craig Affinity,good as well.quote:Originally posted by PDNNYC:
TXGolfPro-
Thanks for the tip. Bought more Round Pond '07 at $40 with free shipping ($50 from the winery). Still wondering if anybody has tried their new 07 Bovet Cab bottling.

I forgot about Hardin...a sort of off-brand I think that is real good.
Also, I cannot find the 2007 Tapestry locally here, only the 2006 Everywhere. Don't really want to ship from out of town this time of year.I bought pretty much every vintage till the cellar taint period BV had a while back.
Did find the Honig 2007 and stocked up just this morning.
I am a very much cheapskate, (no, I really am) and haven't bought Napa cabs for years until the 07's.
Quite happy with the current stash of Hardin, Honig, and Robert Mondavi.

If you mean actual purchase price and not release price, 2007 Round Pond. Very lucky to get this on sale. Drank one and I will cellar the rest for many years.
Another good luck on that price. If you can get it there, stock up. Great wine.
2007 St. Clement is a bargain.
2007 Beringer KV Cab (yes, I know it isn't Napa, is great juice for under $20)
2007 Nine Points is very nice for under $20 - get it on sale - don't pay more than $20.
My favorite Napa Cabs around $35 are:
Vinifera - 2005
Caravan - Vintage-to-Vintage
Clos du Val 2006
BV Rutherford 2007

Redline..I plan on opening up a Lewelling 07 Napa Cab this week, I will let you know what I think. That should make this list.
The Round Pond was nice, around $38 in Houston. Others would be the 2007 Avalon $12, very popular during Christmas parties everyone seems to love it, as well as the Educated Guess but the stores are running out of the 2007. But my fave is Caravan $32, really hitting its stride, an espresso-mocha version of Napa cab. The Mondavi is nice, will have to try the BV Rutherford.
We opened up a bottle of the 2007 Round Pond with Christmas dinner, and I liked it enough to order several more. I happened to check the price of my earlier purchase and found it to be 39.99 a couple of months ago. 44.99 now. Sorry about the outlier data point, but I give it a strong recommendation even at the higher price.
Interesting comments from the others so far. For some I would agree (Honig) while others less so (ZD). And if you can by '07 Groth Cab under $30 please let me know where? I'll buy all they have!
The one that I would recommend is called Gnarly Head. It's sold in grocery stores here in Texas for about $12~$15 per bottle. Surely not the highest of quality but a good QPR.
