The 2022 Apalta is a Cabernet Sauvignon-based red blend sourced from the Apalta vineyard. Dark garnet in color, it features aromas of blackberry, balsamic and a faint touch of marmalade. Indulgent, rich and bold, the 2022 flows with an overwhelming palate, grippy tannins and a ripe, lasting finish—the ABCs of the Apalta style.
