Leave it one of California's most celebrated wine families to finally nail the right balance between quality and value. Beringer's Founders Estate Cabernet is for those who'd like to enjoy the softer side of Cabernet without compromising any of the ripe, rich flavors for which the grape is known. All the expected aromas of cassis and red berry can be found here, along with medium- to full-bodied flavors of currant and spice. Soft tannins lend structure to the finish but they don't get caught on your tongue. A good weeknight wine, this can be enjoyed with meaty lasagnas, beef stroganoff, or veggie burgers with all the fixings.
