BonAnno Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2023 750ml

Matt Bonanno started BonAnno Vintners in 2004 with 1,100 cases of Napa Valley Cabernet at under $20 a bottle, and this 2023 is the latest chapter of that same wine.

Bonanno is the third generation of his family to work in wine. His goal from the start was to bring younger drinkers into Napa Cabernet without the usual price barrier, and the family-run company still makes this bottling its flagship. See more Napa Valley wine.

The winemaking leans on good fruit and a light touch in the cellar, aiming for freshness and balance over sheer power.

Expect black cherry and mixed berries, with dried herbs and cocoa underneath. The texture is smooth, with firm, slightly dusty tannins and hints of vanilla and cinnamon on a long finish. It is built to drink on release, yet it will hold for a few years.

Choose Caymus when you want a lush, special-occasion Napa Cabernet; pick BonAnno when you want honest Napa character for a weeknight steak.

Open it about 30 minutes ahead and serve near 62 to 65°F. A grilled ribeye or mushroom ragù softens its tannins. Pick it up at our Brooklyn store or get same-day delivery in Brooklyn, Manhattan & Queens.
