Napa needs more wines like this, and it's well worth seeking out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93pts Wine Advocate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAssuming pricing remains stable, Caterwaul's 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley—a 14,000-case blend this year—should remain one of the valley's greatest values. Boasting wonderful purity of fruit—black cherries and cassis—plus floral-herbal nuances, it's full-bodied, rich and velvety, maybe a bit open-knit but flavorful and structured, with a lasting finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92pts James Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDark fruited and spicy, with fresh plum and dried flower aromas. The palate is full-bodied with a luscious, juicy mouthfeel, supple tannins and bright acidity.

Dark tobacco and a flash of walnut husk add range through the finish, which hasn’t fully unwound just yet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91pts Vinous\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is beautiful. Sensual, open-knit and inviting, the 2022 has so much to offer. Crushed flowers, sweet red-toned fruit, white pepper and spice are very nicely lifted. This mid-weight, beautifully pliant Cabernet will be impossible to resist in its youth. Stylistically, the Napa Valley Cabernet feels just a touch riper than the other wines in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e#51 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2025\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreat vintages are often signaled early in a wine’s life. Mere weeks into existence, the richness, balance and power of 2023 was clear. Carefully sourced Napa Valley vineyards produced great dividends with a perfect marriage of round tannin and supple fruit. Brilliant scarlet red on the rim, denoting a pronounced natural acidity, the wine quickly finds depth in an opaque, violet hue. A rich nose of crushed minerals and red\/black berry fruit fills the glass, framed by dusky, dark violets. Complexity on the initial palate girds the expectation of an unbridled wine. Like gentle giant, this wine clearly has a powerful build but conveys a restrained intensity. Soft tannins marked by toasty oak and a wide frame of confit red and purple fruits mark the midpalate. Freshness extends the long finish. There is something here for everyone, and in abundance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker\u003c\/strong\u003e : Thomas Rivers Brown\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Progress","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54328248303980,"sku":"196852413836","price":59.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2424\/3053\/products\/caterwaul-napa-cabernet-sauvignon-2021-750ml-756908_f103371e-d54d-4db6-b913-5ff54f709e6e.jpg?v=1691454475","url":"https:\/\/redneckwinecompany.com\/products\/caterwaul-napa-cabernet-sauvignon-2023-750ml","provider":"Redneck Wine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
