Darkly floral and vividly fruit-focused, the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon lifts from the glass with a blend of crushed blackberries, sage, stone dust and licorice. It sweeps across the palate with silky textures elevated by cooling acidity. Crisp red and blue berry fruit nuances swirl throughout. This is wonderfully fresh and graceful yet still powerful and potent, tapering off long and classically structured with a violet resonance that lingers.

Like the producer's Merlot, the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon shows great winemaking and a refined style, with beautifully built layers of medium-bodied red fruit, grippy tannin, and a twist of leafy dried herb. It continues to grip for a while, the structure impressively built for considerable aging a solid 15-20 years.

This Cabernet Sauvignon comes from two estate sites, Le Fore and McQueen. The taut and energetic red fruits reflect the long, incredible growing season, perfectly wrapped with warm autumn weather. The late harvest is wrapping up at the end of the first week of November. Red rose petals, smoky clove, and taut and energetic red fruits alight from the glass. The palate keeps a savoury tone with streaks of ripe raspberries, graphite minerality, spicy dried herbs, and a peppery complexity that wraps the finish.
