Our 2022 Red Hills Cabernet Sauvignon is one of three experimental small-batch wines from the second volume of our Winemaker Series. This highly-anticipated release again features our winemakers' foray into new, lesser-known varietals and winemaking techniques. Each wine is a work of art that transcends the typical tasting experience. Everything, from the label to the wine inside the bottle, is intentionally left open to your interpretation.

This Cabernet Sauvignon is dark in color with dried currant, bramble fruits, dried sage, and subtle wet rock aromas. Notes of dark red and black fruit, black cherry, dried currants, and dark accents are held together with energetic but elegant tannins and balanced acidity.

Dark red and black fruit, black cherry, dried currants accented by Dark Chocolate texture and flavor.

Beautifully dense dark color is bursting with notes of dried currant, bramble fruits, dried sages, and hints of wet rocks.

Vintage 2022

Varietal Cabernet Sauvignon

Appellation Napa Valley

In the heat dome many areas experienced triple digit temperatures for more than 5 days. Obsidian Ridge vineyard in the Red Hills district of Lake County actually experienced a much milder heat wave due to the steep north facing slopes. Number of hours in the crucially hot zone, was drastically lower than the majority of Napa Valley districts. This vineyard is also at 3000 feet of elevation which offers a higher degree of UV throughout the summer which helped to advance phenolic ripeness in the grapes resulting in more advanced phenolics at the time of the heat wave and less damage to tannins and color. We chose to showcase this vineyard in the Winemaker's Series for 2022 because of these unique factors that allowed for this fruit to really shine. The resulting wine has a great deal of power in a relatively soft vintage. We didn't have to change much in our winemaking practice to coax the beauty out of this wine, making it very special to us and very fun to share with everyone!
