Last Saturday night we had a bottle of this with a rare filet and "Wow!"

Buehler Cabernet Sauvignon 2003 Napa Valley, California $27
We Bought a Bunch $23.99
What the Wine Critics Thought: Wine Spectator: 90 points
Excellent balance and purity of youthful Cabernet flavors. The rich currant, blackberry and black cherry fruit is well-defined and oak plays a supporting role, with a dash of espresso bean and hazelnut. The tannins give it firmness and depth. Terrific price, too. Best from 2006 through 2013. – J.L

What we thought: This very approachable Napa Cab has a big cedar nose with a touch of alcoholic heat and a rich, ripe, full-bodied almost dense palate with a velvety smooth mouthfeel and plenty of ripe berries and dark chocolate flavors supported by very supple tannins. This is a great value in a Napa Cab....
