| Description: | 97 Points | CWAâThis dazzling new 2022 Cabernet gives your palate a friendly hug with rich fruit and loads of melt-in-your-mouth Ghirardelli milk chocolate flavors at its core. Those are melded with silky smooth tannins for a supremely impressive wine experience now through the next decade. When sampling, one member of our panel exclaimed âI just Love this'! This gem reminds us of opulent favorites trading for $200+ per bottle. Complex flavors include hints of raspberry, plum, red currant, blueberry, and blackberry jam. Thanks to an awe-inspiring texture and integration of flavors, this relative bargain may be enjoyed tonight (decant ½ hour) and merits a 97 rating now through the balance of this decade.â - California Wine Advisors (11/2024)Winemaker NotesâOur Oakville Cabernet is a perfect example of why Oakville is the premiere appellation for Cabernet in the Napa Valley. This wine checks all the Cabernet boxes, with plentiful fruit, a touch of forest floor, and a hint of graphite. The fruit is a balance of red, black and blue, with blackberry, black cherry, blueberry compote and an iron/sanguine minerality. Baking spices of cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg add an extra dusting of complexity. A great expression of this renowned appellation.â - Jeff Ames 95 Points | JSâVery structured, with firm tannins and a feeling of tension that supports the ample dark fruit flavors. Dusky, spicy oak aromas with macerated cherries, blackcurrants and red cherries on the palate. Sourced from the eastern side of Oakville. Full-bodied. Drink or hold.â - James Suckling |
