Lot 482
2022 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
750mlDescription
Over $100/bottle under the original label
We were approached by a world-class winery along the Silverado Trail that wanted to quietly move some of their phenomenal ’22 Napa Cab. There would be no further outreach to other potential buyers – we swiftly locked it in. Now, we present Lot 482, a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, comprised of fruit from three premier sites along the Silverado Trail.
This Cab is a stunner, opening with a nose of delineated red fruit, barrel-influenced spice, black cherries, and potting soil that combine for an incredible olfactory experience. The palate is deftly balanced (as a wine of this caliber should be); rich red fruit and an expertly weighted body is bolstered by medium acidity, framed by perfectly-integrated firm, medium-grained tannins. Dry and resonant on the finish, red fruit umami is set against spice and fresh-sliced vanilla bean through a long, lingering exit. An incredibly quaffable wine that’s pure pleasure on its own, but even better with a filet.
