2022 Cabernet Sauvignon
Tasting Notes
This year’s Cabernet Sauvignon opens with luscious notes of blue and red fruit, light florals, hints of vanilla bean, and deep notes of star anise. In tasting, the complexity of this wine is clear—dark cherry, bramble, raspberry, and earthiness juxtapose the bright acidity which highlights notes of baking spices. It is balanced and structured with well-placed tannins, ending with a persistent, luxurious finish.
The Year
The 2022 growing season began with below average temperatures and above normal precipitation across the Walla Walla Valley. The cold start resulted in fewer growing days for the spring and early summer overall, but the extra rainfall and mountain snowpack prepared the area for multiple triple-digit days beginning in July. The heat contributed to optimal fruit set and a slightly larger crop. With an idyllic September and October, the grapes were able to develop a perfect balance between flavor and sugar, acid and tannin, and overall great fruit expression.
