Vineyard 29 Cru Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

The 2022 CRU Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a surprisingly youthful and fresh, yet full-bodied and concentrated wine from what was considered a warmer vintage in Napa Valley. Brambly blackberry, ripe blueberry and violet aromas are complemented by hints of mocha and roasted coffee bean provided by beautifully integrated fine grain, thin stave, French oak barrels. Juicy upon entry, rich and round throughout, this wine boasts an ideal acid structure and firm tannin profile. CRU is consistently crafted to be enjoyed upon release but this fine Napa Valley Cabernet will age gracefully for well over a decade.

Beautiful red and black fruits, new leather, graphite, and floral incense notes emerge from the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Cru, a blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Petit Verdot, 3% Malbec, 2% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Merlot. Medium to full-bodied, round, and textured, with fine tannins, this nicely balanced effort.
