2022 Cabernet Sauvignon [Amphora]
2022 Cabernet Sauvignon [Amphora]
Pure, unadulterated Cabernet at its very finest… this could be our desert island wine of the 2022 vintage. Gorgeous with ripe fruit flavors that sing with balanced acidity, and what can only be described as a whisper of iron minerality that plays beautifully off both it’s cool blue and lush red fruit sensations.
The combination of a brief, but important few months in our Haute Futai French oak barrels combined with 16 months spent in our custom clay amphora offer a boost of minerality that carries the subtle notes of pure varietal perfection. A tiny addition of Carménère underscores the midpalate and keeps the whole package in total harmony.
