Laurel Glen 1996 North Coast Cabernet Sauvignon Approximately $15.99/btl.
The genius of winemaker Patrick Campbell, working with his estate lots of Laurel Glen Cabernet, makes this lower-priced Quintana label a steal! Deep red in color, medium-full in body, with a nose of black cherries, herbs and smoky oak. This wine is nicely balanced now with moderate tannins to drink now or reward short-term cellaring. Pairs well with steak, roasted lamb and barbecued chicken. Drink better!
