 Norm's Tasting Notes

2021 Murphy-Goode California Cabernet Sauvignon
Uno January - 2026


So the first wine question for the wine year of 2026 is: "Just how good can a fifteen dollar Screw-Cap Cab really be?"  Apparently, the answer is "Pretty Darn Good", if its the 2021 Murphy-Goode California Cabernet Sauvignon!  Good enough that the North Georgia Wine Advisor, (also know as the California Cabernet Kid) can give it a score of 90!

An everyday red with the potential to become an excellent dinner companion for any occasion, the Murphy-Goode Cab has easy to drink versatility, with a deeper flavor spectrum to compliment a variety of foods.  The flavors are black cherry and dark plum with a lingering finish.  The alcohol content is 13.5%. and Norm's score is 90.

This easy going Cab is perfect for most grilled meats, and would be good with an assortment of cheeses before or after dinner.

score: 90
price : $14 - $17

Now, that's just the way I see it, and you can tell them I said so!

Here's looking at you Kid!
