Jeb Dunnuck95 pts

“The flagship 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon GC22 is all varietal and comes from a mix of Oakville and Mount Veeder fruit. It's a clear success in the vintage and a brilliant wine that defines the vintage. Cassis, black raspberries, spicy wood, flowers, and cedar pencil-like notes all shine in this remarkably pure, elegant 2022, which offer medium to full-bodied richness, a layered, elegant mouthfeel, and velvety tannins. It plays in the sun-kissed style of the vintage while staying pure, seamless, and incredibly impressive.”

The Wine Independent95 pts

“Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon GC22 opens in a broody mood with slowly emerging scents of mocha, black olives, and licorice, eventually revealing a core of crème de cassis and juicy blueberries with touches of graphite and iron ore. The full-bodied palate is taut with muscular black fruits and minerally sparks, supported by firm, grainy tannins and compelling tension, finishing long and savory.”
