Mystery Cabernet Sauvignon Happy Canyon 2022

The clue 'well-rooted winery' is a clever pun on AXR, which is named after the historic AxR1 rootstock, and was founded by a 'Fab Four' of partners. 'No possibility of Swiss neutrality' naturally hints at AXR's renowned Swiss winemaker, Jean Hoefliger. The vineyard details—35 acres planted around an old horse barn with a sub-$200 flagship that scores 97+—perfectly describe Crown Point in Happy Canyon, which sells some fruit to top producers. This aligns exactly with AXR's Happy Canyon Cabernet release for 2022, matching the $180 retail price, 14.1% ABV, and the respective 95/95/93 critic scores.

This is our best guess based on available clues (blurb, nerdy details, etc.) and is not guaranteed.
