International, SD has it right. I have tried both the California and the Navarra. I have not tried the Malbec; I noticed it's screw cap, which clearly marks it as el cheapo and I am not a fan of Malbec at least in the AC price range, hence screw cap.

The California is kind of sweet, which to me is a real turnoff. Not uncommon nowadays. Sugar in everything, mayo, even wines, no thanks. My I guess there must be a market for sweet wines, oh well.

So bottom line, looks like, apart from the champagne, best choice (or at least least bad choice) is the Navarra. BTW if they don't tell you it's a cabernet sauvignon, you won.t notice. But that's OK, sort of.
