Dunne on Wine: Value wine can offer quality, too
• Cameron Hughes 2004 Sonoma County Alexander Valley Lot 71 Cabernet Sauvignon (14.5 percent alcohol, $13, Costco): Cabernet sauvignon isn't my first choice for the Thanksgiving table, but guests expect it, and this modestly priced take, from an appellation where the grape performs as well as anyplace, is bright, juicy, supple and blessed with the suggestions of eucalyptus and mint that distinguish cabernets.
