Rombauer Napa Cabernet 2022 Rated 93DM

Decanter Magazine Review
Rated 93
Always a classic expression of Cabernet Sauvignon from Rombauer, sourced from Calistoga, a site in St. Helena, Stags Leap, and Atlas Peak and built with a bright spearmint freshness, layered with blackberry and cassis fruit, and hints of vanilla and clove. Vivid and expressive, with a medium-bodied palate, this wine showcases bright, lifted fruit that is never overpowered by toasty oak. Instead, it's elegantly layered with baking spice, currant liqueur, liquorice, wet slate, and cedarwood. Pure blackberry fruit, baking spices, crème de cassis, and red currants carry through to a long, lingering finish. 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petit Verdot, 6% Cabernet Franc, aged for 17 months in French oak (70% new). Drinking Window: 2025-2033.

Wine Tasting Notes
The color is intense and beautiful, almost black with purple, reddish hues. Aromas of black cherry, cassis, piecrust, spice, and mint mingle and leap from the glass. The palate is full and concentrated with similar aromas but also featuring black currant and sweet red cherry with the mild presence of oak, seamlessly integrated. Signature finely structured tannins and a balanced acidity give way to a long finish which continues to build after that last sip.
