92pts James Suckling

Wow, so fresh, flavorful and drinkable despite intense concentration and moderate to full tannins. A great value and very well balanced. Sourced from very good sites on Moon Mountain, Sonoma Mountain and Dry Creek Valley. Blended with 12% malbec. Drink now.

Winemaker Notes

The 2023 Olema Cabernet Sauvignon opens with a richly spiced aromatic profile, offering layers of black pepper, Christmas spice, Madagascar vanilla, and ripe cassis. On the palate, full-bodied tannins are balanced by vibrant acidity, delivering bold flavors of blackberry, baker’s chocolate, and crème de cassis. The wine finishes with depth and elegance, weaving together ripe fruit, warm spice, and polished texture.

Blend: 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Malbec
