WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Loving this wine and the 2022 vintage in Walla Walla. Showing off cassis, blackberry, dark chocolate, and dried figs. The growing season was long in the valley, finishing at the beginning of November! The mouthfeel is ultra silky with such a pretty structure and fined grained, glycerol finish - I can’t say enough about how the wine “feels”. There is the perfect amount of oak and tannin on this wine with flavors like plum and raspberry shining through.
Blend: 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Malbec, 5% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdot, 3% Merlot
TASTING NOTES:
Deeply structured yet polished, with expressive flavors of blackberry and cherry highlighted by herbs de Provence and flint tones as this builds toward refined yet broad-shouldered tannins.
- Wine Spectator, 94 pts.
A pretty bouquet of currant and cassis lead to an elegant palate of full-bodied suppleness, with the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon ultimately quite pretty and well-balanced in style. Supple tannins integrate well to the point of melting while the oak remains supportive in the background.
