Lot 505
2022 Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon

$100+/bottle under the original label

Lot 505 is an estate-grown 'Reserve' Cabernet Sauvignon from a historic winery which routinely garners mid-to-high 90s scores from top critics such as Jeb Dunnuck and Antonio Galloni. To protect our source, we can’t disclose the price under the original label nor the exact varietal percentages of this Bordeaux-inspired wine (Cabernet Sauvignon, with a touch of Cab Franc and pinches of Petit Verdot, Malbec, and Merlot), but we can tell you that you're getting an acclaimed Cabernet that oozes power and finesse in spades.

This bombshell pours a deep ruby-hued core, with aromas of cassis, plum, and bramble fruit underpinned by gravel, red capsicum, iron, and signature valley floor dust. The entry reveals impeccable structure and aging potential; red-to-black fruit is wrapped in new soft leather, crushed florals, and a kiss of menthol, with dusty earth notes persisting throughout and backed by perfectly integrated acidity and firm, grippy tannins. The finish lingers beautifully, resonating with black cherries, dark berries, vanilla bean, and barrel-influenced spice.
