96 Points Tasting Panel
A wash of elegant liquid offers a whisper of sleek tannins guided by sweet earth, slate, purple plum, and black olive. Midpoint savory notes of fig, toasted cedar, and black tea meld with heather and blackberry on the well- structured and impeccably balanced palate.
94 Points The Wine Independent
The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon is composed of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, and 7% Petit Verdot. Sporting a deep garnet-purple color, black cherry preserves, blackcurrant jelly, and plum preserves scents jump from the glass, leading to hints of rose bud tea, underbrush, and dusty soil. The full-bodied palate is packed with black fruit layers, supported by lightly chewy tannins and bags of freshness, finishing long and savory.

#29 on The Wine Enthusiast 100: The Best Wines of 2024
A mix of black fruits spun through with stimulating and flavorful spices fill the mouth with juicy and savory flavors. These are carried by a balance of acidity and fine-grained tannins into a mouthwatering and lengthy finish.
92 Points James Suckling
Fresh and nicely framed aromas of red currants, stone and sweet tobacco. Medium-bodied with open-grained tannins and a creamy finish. Crunchy fruit. A blend of 77% cabernet sauvignon, 12% merlot, 5% malbec, 4% cabernet franc and 2% petit verdot. Very drinkable now, but can improve with age.
Winemaker Notes
This fresh and vibrant Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is brimming with aromas of blackberry, mulberry, cassis, and violet. On the palate, bright flavors of cranberry, red plum, cherry, and lavender are intertwined with supple tannins, balanced acidity, and a long, smooth finish.
