I'm on a quest and need your help!

I'm on a quest at work, to find (and order) a good $25 California Cabernet, so I need your help, what are some of your favorite California (or other regions, we're flexible) Cabernet Sauvignons in the $25 price range?

Feel free to leave comments in the box (hee hee) telling me what your fave is and why, I'll forward this on to my boss, and keep y'all updated!

a few suggestions garnered from BevMo's "over 90 points" group. don't know how you buy the wine though. do you have to call them and order wholesale somehow? anyway, here are some links:

http://www.bevmo.com/Shop/ProductDetail.aspx?N=39+4294967227&area=Wine&No=30&ProductID=7596&Ns=Name%7c0 (a description of the BV cab. i couldn't find it on their website, though.)
and another Beaulieu cab - the BV Rutherford: http://www.bevmo.com/Shop/ProductDetail.aspx?N=39+4294967227&area=Wine&No=40&ProductID=781&Ns=Name%7c0

So that's a few. Marlene suggested Fife (now Simaine)but I don't know cost and can't find Simaine on the web.

btw, the Beverages and More website where you can look at the reviews and sometimes link to the winery's website:
http://www.bevmo.com/

They get reviews by Wilfred Wong (BevMo taster), Robert Parker, Wine Enthusiast. Maybe others - not sure. Also, the festival winners, esp. the SF Chronicle Wine Competition.
