The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon draws 90% of its fruit from Champoux vineyard and the other 10% from Mach One, and the Champoux portion makes itself known in the glass: sandalwood, dried herbs and a cool flash of mint up front. Blackberry, cassis and black cherry follow, but raspberry and other red fruit keep the profile buoyant rather than heavy, with violet, lavender, cedar, graphite and crushed rock filling in. The palate is full and broad yet precise, its fine, silky tannins still tightly knit, and the oak stays in a supporting role. The finish is long and gently spiced. Critics counsel patience, with most expecting it to hit its stride around 2028 or 2029 and to age well past 2040. Serve it alongside rack of lamb, a dry-aged ribeye or wild mushroom ragù.

Critic Reviews
James Suckling
98 Points
98 Points, Claire Nesbitt, JamesSuckling.com: "This delivers a broad spectrum of aromas, from very pure, perfectly ripened dark fruit, including back cherries, currants and wild blackberries, to stoney, mineral nuances, spice box, fine cedar and a touch of graphite. Beautiful texture. It shows tense and compact but very fine, almost silky tannins on a full and broad palate. Classy and very precise. Very long. 90% Champoux vineyard and 10% Mach One vineyard. Better from 2029." 03/25

97 Points, Eric Guido, Vinous: "A minty flourish gives way to dusty blackberries, lavender, violets and hints of crushed stone as the delicate and refined 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley blossoms in the glass. Elegant and silken in form, this impresses most for its graceful persona, more red fruit than black, as a crunch of minerality adds traction throughout. The 2022 comes across as totally classic, leaving fine-grained tannins to flex upon the palate as blue and purple inner florals resonate over tinges of sweet spice and dried blueberries. This is a gorgeous interpretation of the vintage, yet patience is required." 10/24
