The Crowd-Pleasing California Cab
Bread & Butter built its name on one idea: wine that tastes expensive without being precious. The Cabernet is the flagship of that philosophy — a California appellation red blended for maximum drinkability, aged in a proprietary oak program that layers vanilla and toast over dark fruit. The brand's official tasting notes read like a dessert menu: mocha, fresh berries, blackcurrant, subtle black pepper, toasted oak, and rich vanilla, finishing soft and lingering. It is the bottle you bring when you need a red that pleases the whole table, and at its price it carries a 90-point value-cab nod.
