Lava Cap’s Cabernet Sauvignon has long been recognized for producing age-worthy wines that showcase vibrant fruit and rich texture. The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon holds true to this, with a dark purple color, and dark black fruit on the nose.

Description

Vineyard Notes: When making our Cabernet Sauvignon, year after year there was a corner of our oldest block that produced wine with exceptional structure and depth. The block, planted adjacent our tasting room on the upper reaches of our Estate vineyard nearly 40 years ago, sits on a particularly rocky outcropping of Lava Cap. It is here, where the Lava Cap soil is the least decomposed, we find the highest expression of the rich flavors our Cabernet Sauvignon is known for.
Our 2021 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is a selection of our best barrels from our oldest Cabernet Sauvignon vines. Planted in 1981, these vines yield a wine that is exceptionally concentrated, elegant, and rich. Picked and fermented separate from our El Dorado Cabernet Sauvignon, our Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is the pinnacle of high elevation Cabernet Sauvignon.

Winemaker Notes

After primary fermentation in stainless steel, the wine was racked to used 100% French oak barrels for ML. The wine was racked once after ML, and once for blending and bottling. 10% Cabernet Franc was blended for additional texture and complexity.

Vineyard Notes

The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of 4 different high elevation vineyards, each with a distinct microclimate that blend harmoniously to produce this rich yet balance expression of Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes were harvested from Mid-September through Mid-October.

Accolades

91pts, Wine & Spirits
91pts, Decanter-"Great herbal aromatics leap forward from this high mountain Cabernet sourced from four different sites in the Sierra Foothills—crushed stone minerality, green peppercorns, bay leaf frame cassis and blackberries with mint. The palate is well-structured and bright. Red and early season berry fruits are marked with fleshy bing cherry and candid raspberry notes. An excellent savoury kick of garrigue and a touch of dusty eucalyptus helps this wine towards the finish."-Clive Pursehouse
