Soft and supple in red fruit, dusty tannin, and integrated oak, the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon is from younger plantings on the estate vineyard, with less new oak than the Altimus. Full-bodied, it shows the warmth of the year in concentrated blackberry and currant, graphite, and cacao nib. It finishes brightly balanced in elegant acidity.

93pts Vinous

The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon is impossible to ignore with its rich bouquet of crushed raspberries, cedar spice box, tobacco and gravel dust. It's soothingly round and silken in feel, with ripe red berry fruits and a slight citrus tinge that adds lovely complexity. Gently tannic and with medium length, the 2022 tapers off with subtle tension and nuances of dark chocolate.

93pts James Suckling

Graphite, tobacco, blackcurrants, blue plums and cedar on the nose of this polished and full-bodied red. It’s focused and firm, with dark fruit framed by tight-knit tannins. Tight for now. Better after 2027.

93pts Wine Spectator

Boldly structured and built for the cellar, this Cabernet offers concentrated black cherry, currant, cedar and dusky spice flavors that build toward broad-shouldered tannins.

Winemaker's Notes

A lavish, yet bold, muscular style; bright acidity delivers an elegant and smooth finish. Beautifully balanced and undeniably distinct. Sourced from Klipsun's newly replanted vineyard blocks.

Blend: 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot, 7% Syrah, 1% Malbec
