REALLY GOOD BUT NOT CHEAP NEW STUFF:
(U.S.)
From Behrens & Hitchcock... 2004 Herrick Moulds Cab (95% Cab, 5%Merlot)...deep dark delicious 2004 July Fourteenth (Syrah; Cab: Merlot blend) bottled in Bastille Day 2007 - rereleased Feb 09'... fantastic; full; flavorful 2004 Erna Schein (B&H's new name since 06')... 91% Merlot; with Cab Franc and Petite Verdot... luscious, lovable liquid
From Cathy Corison, her 04' Napa Cab (95 pts) that drink well now (with swirling, aerating, or decantering) but will be awesome from this autumn forward another 4-6 years... 100% Cab that is virtually opaque.

WE NEED SOME STIMULUS!
(Stim-u-lus; noun:something well-meaning but ill-conceived that applies only to those who will not use it correctly)
BROADSIDE... a 2007 Paso Robles Cabernet that is, quite simply the best 20-buck Cab we have seen in years
La Ventina 2006 Montepuliciano d' Abruzzo... plenty of color, flavor and depth...
