2022 Vintner Select Cabernet Sauvignon

While the 2022 Vintner Select Cabernet Sauvignon is dense and dark in every way that matters, the first sip reveals the surprisingly energetic nature of this wine. Rich aromas of plum, cassis and blackberry are highlighted by understated notes of allspice and nutmeg. This buzz of complexity gradually relents and reveals a structure that is velvety. While powerful and persistent, the tannins are refined to allow for lovely breadth and length. This wine has all the hallmarks of age-worthiness, so be sure to buy at least several bottles to enjoy now and for the decades to come.

    Pure and concentrated aromas of blood plums, blueberry bush, cured meat and violets. The palate is full-bodied with a seamless mouthfeel carried by focused acidity and fine tannins, giving notes of mulberries, blackcurrants, mocha and graphite. Exceptionally well balanced and refined. Drink or hold.
