Combining varietals, elevations, aspects, climates, and soil types allows us to blend the components for a seamless composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWINEMAKING | In the cellar, hand-harvested and hand-sorted grapes undergo an extended cold soak followed by primary fermentation in stainless steel. Following primary fermentation, the wine is racked to French oak barrels (new, second-use, and neutral) for malolactic conversion and 16 months of aging. The barrel regimen is approximately 25% new oak, including Atelier, Sylvain, Taransaud, and Seguin Moreau cooperages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTASTING NOTES | The wine showcases rich layers of dark blue and black fruits, creating a complex blend of savory and sweet flavors. There is an ever-so-subtle bittersweetness reminiscent of amaro, along with a slightly ferrous quality and hints of graphite. These elements complement the opulent fruit - think late-season blackberries - adding complexity, structure, and length to the wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCritical Acclaim\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVN 91 | Vinous 91 points\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon (Sonoma County) might very well be the single greatest Cabernet Sauvignon from California in its price range.
