Year in and year out, the cabernets from Karl Lawrence are outstanding. I also appreciate the fact that he produces a healthy number of the small 375 ml bottles, so that the wine can be enjoyed on nights where a whole bottle is too much. Karl Lawrence makes some very expensive single vineyard wines, but I love the regular "entry-level" offering, which is essentially a blend of 3 of the most famous vineyards in Napa (Morisoli Vineyard, Beckstoffer Vineyard, and Herb Lamb Vineyard). Each of those vineyards produces fruit that is usually reserved for $100 wines. The Karl Lawrence Napa Cab goes for about $50.00 It brings the best of all three vineyards into one bottle.
