Tasting Notes:

92 points Jeb Dunnuck

A value play in Napa Valley Cabernet, the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley offers sweet red and blue fruits, spicy oak, flowers, and hints of chocolate. Pure, beautifully balanced, and elegant on the palate, with medium body and fine tannins, it does everything right and will drink well for 6-8 years.

91 points James Suckling

Savory and brooding aromas of blood plums, blackberry compote and sarsaparilla. The palate is lush, with firmly integrated tannins and acidity, giving notes of mocha, cedar and tobacco. A very drying and robust wine that will age nicely. Drinkable now, but best from 2028.

90 points Wine Spectator
Shows the frankly ripe, juicy and up-front character of the vintage, with plum and cherry compote flavors leading the way, backed by red licorice and singed vanilla on the finish. There’s just enough spine to keep this honest. Drink now through 2029. – JM
