Band of Vintners Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Critical Acclaim: 94 pts Wine Enthusiast; 93 pts Decanter.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes: Band of Vintners Cabernet Sauvignon is a lush, approachable and pleasurable wine. What a spectacular vintage! A warm and inviting nose, reminiscent of a summer day in Napa, conjures up notes of grilled meats and Herbs de Provence. This vintage rolls over your palate with succulent flavors of black currant, boysenberry and dark cherry. 83% Cabernet, 14% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc. Aged 15 months in French Oak.

"Lifted aromatics and unctuous flavors of juicy cherries, plums and mixed berries intwined with well-integrated spices, cocoa and an intriguing hint of cola. Distinctive. Mouthwatering. Impressively over delivers for the price. This Cabernet Sauvignon has the structure for food and approachability for mixed company."- Wine Enthusiast. 

"Winemaker Britt Richards is a real talent. I was thrilled to learn she had taken the helm for this project, now owned by Master Sommelier Desmond Echavarrie, a former sommelier at The French Laundry and founder of Scale Wine Group. In 2022, Richards crafted a juicy, fruit-forward, and generous Cabernet layered with sweet cedar and toasty oak spice, all wrapped in silky tannins. What stands out is the liveliness of the fruit- elegant, ripe, but never overripe, a remarkable achievement in such a warm vintage. Instead, this wine delivers balanced freshness, making it the perfect "house Cabernet" for the vintage- one to keep on hand as a reliable dinner table companion."- Decanter.
