I bought my first bottle of Kunde Estate Cabernet Sauvignon on a whim. Continually in search of an enjoyable $12 bottle, I picked up a 2001 vintage Kunde Estate Cab at Sam's Club. I was extremely surprised by the mouthful of blackberry and black cherry flavors, with a hint of vanilla. A century old Sonoma vineyard and winery with original plantings from imported Chateaux Margaux and Lafite Rothschild cuttings, Kunde produces what I believe to be the best value Cab. A blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, and 2% Cabernet Franc, with oak barrel aging, Wine Enthusiast rates the 2001 Kunde Estate Cabernet Sauvignon at 90. The 2002 is also enjoyable and inexpensive. I've seen both vintages available for between $10 and $14 per bottle. I've returned several times for more, and have gone through at least four cases by now. Try this nice wine - I trust you will not be disappointed.
