Cabernet Sauvignon is America's benchmark red - structured, age-worthy, and at its best from hillside and bench land fruit. Expect fuller-bodied tastings, library pours at the serious houses, and fees at the higher end of the local range. Alexander Valley and Knights Valley grow Sonoma's most celebrated Cabernet - riper than the coast, more relaxed in price than Napa next door. Our enrichment research has tagged at least 122 Sonoma County wineries for Cabernet Sauvignon - every one profiled below the fold on this site.
