VINTAGE NOTES: Winemakers are calling the vintage “the tale of two harvests,” making it one of the more unique vintages in recent history. With climate variability as the new normal, Napa Valley grape growers aim to be resilient and adaptable. Their preparation and experience paid off in 2022 as growers faced triple digit heat over five days in September quickly followed by rain that brought harvest to a sudden halt.
The typical gap between the white and red wine harvest was almost nonexistent, and the frenzied tempo continued until the rains provided winemakers a much-needed break. Following the rain, grapes left to hang through October enjoyed mild weather days that allowed winemakers to wait for perfect ripeness.
TASTING NOTES: The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is a deep garnet-purple color, with a rich dark fruit bouquet of black raspberry jam, cassis, hints of tobacco, sweet spice, rose petal, and cedar. The palate is packed with rich tasting black and red fruits, framed by soft tannins, finishing long with a herbal essence.

VINTAGE NOTES : Napa Valley’s 2021 vintage was so great; you could just feel the excitement all over the valley. The year started off gently with sunny skies and a warm spring, followed by continued drought. In parts of the valley, the crop was down by 20-60 percent. But the small crop had a silver lining. While the crop was down, the concentration was through the roof. The berries were tiny and packed with color, tannin, and flavor. But, with the memory of the difficult 2020 vintage still fresh in their minds, vintners were holding their breaths. As the valley inched closer and closer to the harvest, everyone was on pins and needles. Nature was kind. The valley drifted into a gentle, cool, beautiful fall. The weather was sensational. The grapes were in perfect condition. The mood all over the valley was joyous.
TASTING NOTES: Fruit on the nose is extroverted, a dollop of blueberry and huckleberry. Juicy and fresh with supple, finely grained tannins. Sandalwood and fig meld with mocha and blackberry. Finish is long and pleasant with heather and sweet tobacco.
