To inquire, please call 707-479-3278 or write to joyce@oakvillewinegrowers.com | 2022 Oakville Cuvée This limited production wine is a blend of select lots of Oakville’s finest Cabernet Sauvignon and blending varieties, contributed by winery members of the Oakville Winegrowers. The Cuvée offers the collector an extraordinary opportunity to experience the best of Napa Valley’s premier growing region. There is no other wine that equally represents the spirit of an appellation and the camaraderie of its vintners. Each bottle is etched and the large formats are numbered, a beautiful and rare addition to any wine cellar. Winemaker’s Notes: Winemakers describe Napa Valley’s 2022 red wines as having elegant structure with deep color, luxurious tannins and exquisite fruit-forward aromatics. The unique weather events that defined the vintage showcase the full range of flavors that Oakville wines are known for, and resulted in softer tannins that allow the opulent fruit characters to shine. The 2022 Cuvée is a deep magenta colored wine that opens with aromas of black raspberry complemented by bright notes of violet and a touch of mint, vanilla and chocolate. On the palate it is smooth, with approachable tannins and a luscious mouthfeel that lingers nicely on flavors of blackberry, fig, and hints of black pepper and cedar. Cellar for 10-20 years, or decant if enjoying it sooner. We wish to thank Encore Glass and Taransaud for their support with bottles and barrels. |
"The Oakville Winegrowers 2022 Cuvée Cabernet Sauvignon has a beautifully layered nose of lilacs, blackberries, plums, dark chocolate, baking spices, black olives, and rain-soaked clay. On the palate, the wine has a velvety texture with deep flavors of ripe black fruits, nutmeg, toasted walnuts, and chocolate-covered black cherries. The tannins are supple and smooth, adding length and showcasing an exquisitely balanced wine with finely integrated flavors, aromas, and structure." 97 Points, Anne Sewell Briggs, DipWSET
