2022 Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon
Tasting Notes: Classic Red Mountain lifted aromatics of black raspberry, red plum, Stella cherry reduction, dark chocolate shavings, dried roses, and a hint of freshly tanned leather. On the palate, this wine wears its structured and powerful build with a deceptive ease, featuring primarily red fruits, bittersweet chocolate torte, vanilla honey, dried earth, and river stone minerality. Give this a few years in the cellar to really show its stuff, then it will last for many years of enjoyment.

95-97 Points - Jeb Dunnuck
"Deep ruby-hued, with terrific purity in its red and black fruits, leafy herbs, graphite, and leather-like aromas and flavors, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a pure, layered, seamless mouthfeel, and present yet polished, supple tannins."
