Father's Day Gift Guide 2025: 7 Standout Napa Valley Cabernets For The Collector Dad
Ridges of fir, oak and pine trees overlook the floor of Napa Valley as the morning fog rolls in. getty Not all Napa Cabernet Sauvignon is built the same. Prices are higher than ever, but after a sluggish year in the luxury wine market, clarity is setting in: the producers who prioritize site, structure, and longevity are the ones worth watching. These seven wineries consistently deliver Cabernet that holds up, both in the cellar and on the table. If you're shopping for a dad who loves Napa Cabernet, start here. Ink Grade vineyard views with hot air balloons in the distance. Ink Grade While Ink Grade has not yet reached the status of a cult label, it is on its way. Founded in 2018 by Gaylon Lawrence (also behind Heitz Cellar), the estate farms steep, volcanic slopes on Howell Mountain using certified biodynamic practices. The wines are made by Master Sommelier turned winemaker Matt Taylor, and they're already earning serious attention from critics and collectors alike. The 2019 Howell Mountain Cabernet shows the structure and lift this subregion is known for. Blueberry, pine, and wild herbs layer over black cherry and graphite. It's plush, polished, and bright on the finish — a wine that manages both power and poise. This magnum is built to impress, whether it's opened now or cellared for the long haul. Wine to Find: 2019 Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon Magnum, $450 Founded in 1882 and stewarded by the Novak family since the 1970s, Spottswoode is a benchmark Napa Valley estate on the western edge of St. Helena. The 45-acre vineyard has been certified organic and biodynamic and now also holds Regenerative Organic Certification — a rarity in Napa. Winemaker Aron Weinkauf, who joined in 2006 and now oversees both vineyard and cellar, crafts elegant, age-worthy Cabernets that reflect both place and precision. The 2022 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is a wine of energy and refinement. A warm, balanced growing season — punctuated by a short September heat spike — produced grapes with vibrant acidity and focused flavor. The wine opens with wild strawberry, marionberry, and violet, followed by layers of baking spice, cocoa, and a touch of salinity on the finish. It's still young but already showing its thoroughbred form — poised, expressive, and built to age. Wine to Find: 2022 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, $285 Peter Mondavi in the barrel room at Charles Krug. Charles Krug Established in 1861, Charles Krug is Napa Valley's oldest winery — and has been owned by the Mondavi family since 1943. Now in its fourth generation, the family continues to steward the estate with an increased focus on sustainable farming while preserving the heritage of the property and family history. Veteran winemaker Stacy Clark — who joined in 2011 after more than two decades at Pine Ridge — oversees production. She's joined by fourth-generation family member Angelina Mondavi, who contributes as a consulting winemaker and brings a modern lens to one of Napa's most historic cellars. The 2021 Family Reserve Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from estate vineyards situated at 1,650 feet above the valley floor, a site that benefits from volcanic soils and a unique microclimate. On the nose, expect aromas of cigar, tobacco leaf, black tea, pomegranate, and black cherry, with hints of blueberry and blackberry pie. On the palate, it offers sweetened, ripe black fruits complemented by spice, pine, and dusty earth, supported by abundant, fine-grained tannins. Wine to Find: 2021 Family Reserve Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon, $180 The barrel room at Dunny Vineyards. Dunn Vineyards Randy and Lori Dunn founded Dunn Vineyards in 1978 after acquiring 14 acres on Howell Mountain, including a small parcel of mature Cabernet vines. At the time, Randy was working full-time as a winemaker in Rutherford and tended the vineyard on nights and weekends, eventually expanding the estate to include multiple neighboring parcels. By 1981, Dunn Vineyards was officially bonded, and its high-elevation site — ranging from 1,800 to over 2,000 feet — proved ideal for producing structured, age-worthy mountain Cabernet. Today, the estate encompasses roughly 42 acres of vines and is considered one of Napa's cult producers, known for its restrained style, longevity, and limited allocations that attract collectors seeking authenticity over flash. Dunn's 2019 Howell Mountain Cabernet is powerful yet refined, with dark fruit, graphite, and violet aromas leading into a full-bodied palate of cassis, plum, and iron. Aged 32 months in new French oak and sealed in signature red wax, it's structured for decades of aging but already striking in its elegance. Wine to Find: Dunn Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2019, $210 Mary Lee's Vineyard at Grgich Hills. Grgich Hills Founded in 1977 by Miljenko 'Mike' Grgich, the man behind the 1973 Chateau Montelena Chardonnay that triumphed in the 1976 Judgment of Paris, Grgich Hills Estate remains an icon of Napa Valley winemaking. Today, the estate remains family-owned, with Mike's nephew, Ivo Jeramaz, overseeing both winemaking and vineyard operations. While you might scoff at buying a 2013, Grgich wines are built to last and taste better with a few years of aging in the cellar. The estate 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from organically and regeneratively farmed vineyards, offers a complex nose of dark black fruits, plum, and sandalwood, leading to a palate of firm but fine tannins and fresh acidity. This wine is drinking well now, but it has the structure to age further. Wine to Find: 2013 Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon, $178 Cathy Corison founded Corison Winery in 1987, becoming one of Napa's first women winemakers, and the winery has since built a devoted following for her Cabernet Sauvignons that prize finesse over flash. The organically farmed estate vineyards, including the historic Kronos and Sunbasket, sit on gravelly benchland between Rutherford and St. Helena. Certified Napa Green and dry-farmed, these sites yield wines with bright acidity, moderate alcohol, and the kind of structure that rewards patience. The 2019 Corison Napa Valley Cabernet bursts with aromas of violet, cassis, and crushed herbs, layered over a core of dark cherry and graphite. It's vibrant and precise, with silken tannins and a mineral finish that carries real lift. Aged in 50% new French oak, it's a Cabernet that hums with energy—drinkable now, but built to go the distance. Wine to Find: 2019 Corison Cabernet Sauvignon, $145 The stone house and vineyards at Ehlers Estate. Ehlers Estate Ehlers Estate, just north of St. Helena, farms 42 acres of certified-organic Cabernet on soils originally planted in the late 1800s. Since 2023, winemaker Adam Casto has been steering the estate toward site-driven wines—moving beyond varietal labels to celebrate individual vineyard blocks, soil types, and slope aspects. With a background training under Philippe Melka, plus multi-regional harvest experience, Casto is integrating terroir into the naming and style of future releases, supporting the estate's plan to adapt varieties and blends to evolving climate and site conditions. Though the 2021 '1886' Cabernet pre-dates Adam's tenure, it's delicious and deserves consideration. It's an inky, brooding wine with aromas of blackberry, cassis, hibiscus, and baking spice. On the palate, it's savory and structured—think steeped herbs, a touch of hoisin sweetness, and serious tannins carrying through a long finish. Aged 20 months in French oak, it offers both immediate appeal with a hearty steak and the concentration to age gracefully over the next decade. Wine to Find: 2021 1886 Cabernet Sauvignon, $160

7 Unexpected Regions Making Standout Rosé Wine
Bottles from unexpected regions are reshaping what rosé can taste like and where it's made. getty Rosé wine has long been linked to specific places—Italy, Spain, California and, of course, Provence in the South of France. These are the regions that shaped the category, where often pale, dry rosés have become shorthand for summer. Each year, rosé accounts for about 9% of global wine production, or 2.3 billion liters, according to the International Organisation of Vine and Wine. France leads with 805 million liters—45% of that from Provence—followed by Spain at 460 million and the United States at 230 million. But beyond those familiar names, winemakers elsewhere are rethinking what rosé can be. In some cases, these are younger wine regions developing their own approach to style and production. In others, the history is far older, but rosé is only now gaining attention. What connects them is not a shared look or flavor, but a move away from formula. These wines are often deeper in color, more structured and less tied to expectations shaped by branding or climate. The grapes vary, as do the winemaking methods. Some producers are farming organically or working at a smaller scale. Others are experimenting with blends, skin contact or unfiltered bottlings. Rosé remains a category with few rules, which has made it especially open to change. That flexibility, combined with growing demand outside traditional markets, has created space for producers in places not usually associated with the style. The results can be surprising—wines that are drier, more savory or more intense than their better-known counterparts. As the category continues to expand, so do the regions making a case for their place in it. These seven are not yet widely recognized for rosé, but the bottles coming out of them suggest that may not be true for long. Canelones, Uruguay getty Canelones, just north of Montevideo, has a cool maritime influence that works well for rosé production. Wines from this region are often made with pinot noir, cabernet franc or tannat, and tend to have savory depth, good acidity and mineral notes. Uruguay's small-scale producers focus on balance and restraint over sweetness. Goriška Brda, Slovenia getty Near the Italian border, Goriška Brda is known for small plots and hand-harvested grapes. Merlot and refošk rosés from this area often show wild strawberry and pomegranate with an herbal finish. The region's alpine air and limestone soil contribute to a crisp, layered style that stands apart from more common rosé profiles. Slovenia is not among the highest-producing countries, but emerging rosé producers in Central and Eastern Europe are playing a growing role in market diversity View of vineyard gardens near Mycenae, Greece. getty The Peloponnese offers a range of native grapes suited for dry rosé, especially agiorgitiko. Wines are typically pale to medium pink, with flavors of red cherry, earth and a hint of salt from nearby coastal breezes. Greek rosé tends to pair well with grilled food, and the style leans more savory than sweet. Greece showed renewed growth in rosé wine consumption in 2022 after previous declines, part of a broader trend toward quality-driven styles. Sussex, England. getty Sussex is best known for sparkling wines, but still rosés—often made from pinot noir or meunier—have gained traction. The cool climate keeps alcohol levels low and acidity high, producing crisp, pale wines with notes of tart red berries. The style is clean and restrained, with a growing number of producers finding success. As of 2020, rosé made up 11% of the U.K. wine market. A large green vineyard below Piketberg Mountain in Western Cape, South Africa. getty Swartland has gained attention for natural-style wines, including character-driven rosé. Producers often use old-vine cinsault or grenache for medium-bodied wines with floral and savory elements. Dry farming and low-intervention methods give these rosés texture and complexity without overpowering fruit. South Africa, overall, is the fifth largest producer of rosé wine, producing 92 million liters annually. Field of flowers in the Texas Hill Country between Johnson City and Fredericksburg. getty The Texas Hill Country has become a surprising source of quality rosé. Producers often use tempranillo, mourvèdre or sangiovese to make dry styles with watermelon and citrus notes. The region's heat requires early picking to maintain freshness, and winemakers have adapted well to the growing demand for crisp, pale rosé. Bekaa Valley, Lebanon getty The Bekaa Valley's elevation and Mediterranean climate allow grapes like cinsault and syrah to ripen slowly, keeping acidity balanced. Lebanese rosés often carry notes of dried herbs, red berries and spice. Winemaking here combines centuries-old tradition with modern techniques, producing wines that are dry, structured and food-friendly. Lebanon is not tracked as a major contributor to global rosé production, but interest in smaller markets like this is rising as the global rosé wine market is projected to grow from $11.8 billion in 2023 to $14.6 billion by 2030.

Aldi Is Declaring a Summer Full of Savings With Discounts on More Than 400 Items
Aldi is cutting prices on more than 400 summer products across categories like meats, organic produce, and pantry staples in all 2,400 U.S. stores through Labor Day 2025. Consumer concerns about grocery costs are significant, with the Pew Research Center reporting a 28.3% increase in food-at-home prices since January 2020 and 60% of U.S. adults citing food costs as a key factor in their shopping decisions. Aldi credits its ability to maintain low prices to its streamlined operations, including practices such as the quarter-cart system and limited in-store one of the fastest-growing grocery chains in the United States, Aldi is set to become America's favorite supermarket — and the brand is making sure of it by announcing that it's cutting prices on over 400 products for summer. With rising grocery prices posing an ongoing concern for many Americans, it isn't the first time Aldi has made it clear that the chain aims to meet customers where they are. Last year, Aldi CEO Jason Hart emphasized on Good Morning America, 'We don't really focus on what the competition is doing. We're focused on what consumers want and need.' The German chain put its money where its mouth was in 2024 by announcing major discounts on 250 items throughout the summer. This year, Aldi is taking its savings even more seriously by lowering grocery prices on nearly 25% of its products, totaling over 400 items across various aisles — including meats, organic produce, pantry items, and more — in all 2,400 U.S. stores from now through Labor Day. Related: These Aldi Items Are the Answer to Easy Meals, and the Internet Loves Them According to a press release provided to Food & Wine, the brand estimates that it 'will save customers $100 million this summer.' The discounts couldn't have come at a better time: Statistics reveal that two-thirds of Americans are very concerned about the costs of 'food and consumer goods.' "Aldi wants shoppers to focus on what summer is all about — grilling, camping, concerts, and quality time with friends and family — not stressing over grocery bills,' Scott Patton, Aldi's chief commercial officer, tells Food & Wine. 'From grilling essentials to road trip snacks, Aldi is lowering prices on summertime favorites to help stretch our shoppers' savings where it matters most. Customers can look for the red 'price drops' logo in stores and online to easily shop summer favorites at even lower prices." In a recent survey by the Pew Research Center, data revealed that about six in ten adults in the United States consider food costs to be extremely or very important when filling their shopping carts and deciding which products to purchase. The Pew Research Center also reports that 'The cost of food at home has climbed 28.3% since January 2020, before the COVID-19 pandemic hit the U.S.' Beyond that, recent survey data from KPMG indicates that 79% of consumers anticipate price increases for goods, including groceries, in the coming months. At the same time, many households are reporting a decrease in their income compared to last year. Related: Americans Are Turning to Short-Term Loans to Afford Their Groceries Even before these newly announced price cuts, customers have always turned to Aldi for its affordable groceries. Hart says, 'Our customers count on ALDI for the lowest prices of any national grocer, every day, and we never take that trust for granted.' Aldi's summer discounts will feature reduced prices on a wide variety of products, including meats (such as grass-fed ground beef and baby back ribs, both ideal for seasonal cookouts), protein bars, fresh fruits, and sodas. 'While customers may see higher prices at other retailers, we're working hard to unlock even more value for our shoppers, just in time for summer's lineup of holidays and gatherings where food takes center stage,' Hart says. Related: Trump's Tariffs May Add Nearly $5,000 to the Average Family's Annual Grocery Costs Aldi's chief commercial officer, Scott Patton, details that, 'This summer, we're going further to deliver more of what sets us apart, great products at the lowest possible prices. With price drops on the season's most-loved products in every aisle, we want to do what we can to help shoppers enjoy more of summer.' If you're wondering how Aldi can afford to give shoppers such low prices, the supermarket even includes an answer in its press release about the summer savings, emphasizing that this is 'thanks to the intentionally different way the grocer operates. From its famous quarter cart system to the decision to skip music in its stores, Aldi cuts the fluff, so shoppers don't have to cut corners.' This summer, whether you plan to sear steaks for a crowd, grab your favorite ice cream, or buy drinks for the upcoming holiday weekends and backyard barbecues, be sure to take advantage of Aldi's seasonal promotions.
