Grgich Hills 2022 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (75cl, 14.6%)

A full-bodied, estate-grown Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from vineyards across Yountville, Rutherford and Calistoga. Grgich Hills Estate was founded in 1977 and farms organically and biodynamically across roughly 366 acres. The estate uses indigenous yeast fermentation and extended skin contact of about four weeks. The nose shows dark black currant, ripe plum, cedar, clove and dried lavender, with a subtle mocha undertone. The palate is concentrated with blackberry and black cherry, cedar and clove spice, plus mocha and licorice. The finish is long, with dark berry fruit giving way to toasty mocha and licorice.
