Keplinger Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville Ranch Oakville Napa Valley 2022

“Aromas of blackcurrants, ferric earth, graphite, black olives and cured meat. The palate is full-bodied with firmly framed tannins and balanced acidity, giving flavors of dried herbs, black cherries, licorice and mocha. A robust yet refined cabernet. Drink or hold.”

“Crunchy, red fruit and bright, brown spices mingle with elegant, cedarwood notes. Full-bodied with plump, gently sweet tannins, this wine is remarkably easygoing in the vintage, showcasing lovely ripe fruit and savoury spice that carry through to a long, satisfying finish.”

“The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville Ranch Vineyard is a racy, sumptuous wine. The ripeness of the year is very much in evidence. Kirsch, blood orange, exotic spices, leather and cedar are front and center. Floral overtones and potent yet well-integrated tannins mark the finish.”

“This relies on a friendly and expressive burst of raspberry and mulberry puree carried by a modest but polished structure and backed by iris and ink notes through the modestly juicy finish. Drink now through 2031. 135 cases made.”
