2022 Oakville
2022 Oakville
The 2022 Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon is a stunning reflection of both the terroir and the unique conditions of the 2022 vintage. Oakville, with its renowned gravelly soils and ideal microclimate, consistently delivers power and elegance, but the vintage brought an extra layer of vibrancy and precision. A warm, even growing season with cool nights allowed for optimal ripeness and complexity, while a slightly smaller yield concentrated the flavors and heightened the wine’s depth.
This vintage showcases the hallmark richness of Oakville, with intense aromas of blackcurrant, ripe plum, and crushed blackberry. Subtle floral notes of violet and a touch of graphite add sophistication. On the palate, the wine is structured yet polished, with fine-grained tannins and a remarkable balance of lush fruit and vibrant acidity. The 2022 vintage accentuates the region’s ability to produce a wine that is both approachable in its youth and destined for long-term aging, with a finish that lingers on notes of espresso, dark chocolate, and a whisper of mineral elegance.
