TASTING NOTES

 

91pts - Vinous

"Decidedly red-fruited, the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon (Happy Canyon of Santa Barbara) shows all the classic Cabernet signatures, unfurling in the glass with bittersweet chocolate, red cherry, tobacco, mocha and dried herbs. Medium-bodied and nicely structured, it remains hemmed-in and calibrated through the even-tempered finish."

 

91pts - Wine Advocate

"Derived from young vines at China Blue and Happy Canyon Vineyards, the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon opens with a classic bouquet of leather, dried herbs and dark chocolate, set against a core of red and black fruit. The palate is supple, polished and elegantly plush, culminating in a rich finish framed by chalky tannins."
