Coastal Ridge Cabernet
Lodi Cabernet since 1989, priced for the Tuesday steak.
The story behind Coastal Ridge
Coastal Ridge was established in 1989 under Joseph J.D. Franzia, a fourth generation California grape grower, and it sits inside the Bronco Wine Company portfolio the Franzia brothers started in 1973. The Cabernet is cellared and bottled in Lodi, California, from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, and it is built for immediate drinking rather than long oak naps.
We have poured this one for decades because it does the plain job well: black cherry, ripe plum and blackberry up front, then cedar, anise and a little vanilla behind. The 2017 vintage took Double Gold at the Sakura Awards in 2023, and the 2018 took Silver there in 2024. Standard 12.5% ABV, no fuss.

Pricing here is honest value tier. The Coastal Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon 750mL runs $6.99, and the 1.5L large format is $9.99, which is the bottle most people grab for a backyard grill. The 187mL single is $1.99 when we have it. If you want to build a mixed case, the Merlot 1.5L and Pinot Grigio 1.5L both sit at $9.99, and the Shiraz 750mL is $5.99. Nothing here pretends to be a cellar trophy, and that is the point.
$6.99, soft tannins and black cherry that handle a grilled ribeye without ceremony.
$9.99 large format pours for a crowd and keeps the grill line moving.
