2022 Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley

2022 Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley

Tom Meadowcroft says that the key to a quality Cabernet Sauvignon begins in the vineyard with careful and patient farming. He calls this type of viticulture “four wheel drive farming” as opposed to a more lax “two wheel drive” approaches. The 2022 vintage saw longer fruit hang times/extra maturity and fruit development. The meticulous attention and experience is evident in this exemplary bottle of wine.

TASTING NOTES

This wine has a rich and compelling nose of blackberry, black cherry, vanilla, and and subtle notes of pine. This wine is structured firmly around deep flavors of brambly black fruits, blueberry and minerality. Supple, ripe tannins provide ample backbone. The finish is lengthy and layered. Decant to reveal the wine’s full complexity.

 

SUGGESTED FOOD PAIRING

The concentrated richness and marked acidity make this wine a remarkable partner for bold foods. We recommend hearty dishes like grilled steaks, mushroom dishes, or lamb with herbs. This wine will nicely hold up to strong cheeses such as aged gorgonzola, aged sharp cheddar or parmiagiano reggiano.

 

ACCOLADES

92 pts - Wine Enthusiast:  "Brooding and generous, this wine offers aromas of dried blossoms and herbs followed by flavors of mushroom reduction and a hint of meatiness. Char and pencil shavings emerge from a lengthy, full-bodied finish. —E.C.B.
