“This Atlas Peak-based project boasts Heidi Barrett as the winemaker. After not producing any wine in 2017, 2018 or 2020 because of possible smoke taint, the 2021 and 2022 have been excellent efforts. The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon epitomizes Barrett's classic, balanced style, with subtle shadings of cedar and vanilla framing black cherries and cassis. It's medium to full-bodied, silky textured and long on the finish, a true thoroughbred that should drink well for 20 years or so.”
