I don't really know what price range I'm looking at. I'm willing to spend around $50, but what I'm really after is a good cabernet recommendation for someone who has a discerning palette for red wines. I know he likes cabernet, but that's about it. I would ask him, but I'm buying a gift to celebrate him passing the bar exam, so I want it to be a surprise.

Hard to make a recommendation without a price point. Top end: Ridge, Opus One. Mid level: Grgich, Mount Veeder, Berenger Napa Valley, Peju Province. Reasonable: Norman, Michael Pozzan, Castellero del Diablo.
Almost anything eight years or older with a cork instead of a screw cap.
Rambaurer, in the California Napa Valley.
Close second, Firestone, also from California.
Oh, and Opus One, provided you have money to burn.
Liberty School. You won't be dissappointed. It's about $30 a bottle.
Jordan Cab is wonderful and right in your price range.
Good luck on the Bar!
