Textbook – Mise en place Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 (750ml)

Description

Winemaker Notes

Restraint over power is the goals while crafting this Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon. Saturated in color, it showcases aromas of briary blackberry, Satsuma plum and cassis. The aromas carry over on the palate, developing into black cherry, dark chocolate, and mocha flavors, with dense, plush tannins and a lengthy finish. This wine will age well for 5-15 years.

Blend: 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot

Professional Ratings

• 96Tasting PanelWhen a chef gets ready to create a meal, or a mixologist concocts a special cocktail, he or she preps ingredients ahead, and the term mis-en-place is used, meaning everything in its place. And besides that, this wine also succeeds from its sense of place: Oakville, with its diverse soils and reputation as being a premier location for grape-growing in Napa Valley. The wine, 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Merlot, opens with daunting notes of charred cedar, blackberry, bittersweet dark chocolate, and umami. Silky tannins envelop the back of the palate, with cherrywood nnd fleshy purple fruit integrated into its powerful – yet luxurious – conformation.
