A value play in Napa Valley Cabernet, the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley offers sweet red and blue fruits, spicy oak, flowers, and hints of chocolate. Pure, beautifully balanced, and elegant on the palate, with medium body and fine tannins, it does everything right and will drink well for 6-8 years.

Savory and brooding aromas of blood plums, blackberry compote and sarsaparilla. The palate is lush, with firmly integrated tannins and acidity, giving notes of mocha, cedar and tobacco. A very drying and robust wine that will age nicely. Drinkable now, but best from 2028.

Shows the frankly ripe, juicy and up-front character of the vintage, with plum and cherry compote flavors leading the way, backed by red licorice and singed vanilla on the finish. There's just enough spine to keep this honest. Drink now through 2029. 12,000 cases made.

This red-fruited Napa Cabernet offers sweet baking spices and loads of toasty cedarwood up front. Medium-bodied, the palate is built on gentle tannins, framing juicy red berry fruit, brown spices, and a dusting of white pepper on the smooth, lingering finish. A polished, inviting wine with balance, warmth, and immediate appeal, yet with enough structure for mid-term cellaring. Aged 18 months in 100% French oak (25% in 600L puncheons, 75% in 225L barrels, with 23% new French oak, 77% seasoned French oak), this Cabernet is sourced from Fortuna Vineyard (41%) and Leopoldina Vineyard (35%) in Oakville, Amoenus Vineyard (15%) in Calistoga, and Turnbull Home Vineyard (9%) in Oakville, with a blend rounded out by 3% Petit Verdot and 2% Malbec.
