2022 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon

2022 Canard Vineyard Estate Cabernet Sauvignon – Calistoga, Napa Valley

Experience the essence of Napa Valley with the 2022 Canard Vineyard Estate Cabernet Sauvignon,  an opulent expression of dark fruit purity, refined tannins, and seamlessly integrated French oak. Full-bodied yet impeccably balanced, this vintage showcases the craftsmanship, heritage, and exceptional value that define our dry-farmed, single-vineyard estate wines.

The 2022 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon offers a profound look into the richness and power of our Calistoga terroir. Sourced exclusively from our historic, dry-farmed vineyard, this vintage reflects both the resilience of the vines and the warm, steady conditions of the growing season. The result is a wine of notable concentration, intensity, and aromatic depth.

In the glass, it presents a deep, saturated garnet core with youthful violet reflections, an early indicator of the wine’s structure and long-term aging potential. The nose is generous and expressive, opening with ripe blackberries, cassis, and black plum. As the wine unfolds, more complex layers reveal themselves: graphite, crushed rock, cedar, and a touch of dried sage. Subtle accents of vanilla bean and warm spice from the French oak contribute elegance without overwhelming the fruit.

On the palate, the 2022 vintage delivers a luxurious interplay of richness and finesse. Silky, well-knit tannins frame a concentrated core of dark fruit, while vibrant acidity provides lift and precision. Notes of cocoa, espresso, and savory herbs linger on the finish, offering depth and balance that speak to the wine’s meticulous élevage.

Crafted to impress in its youth yet built to evolve for many years, the 2022 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is a striking testament to the power of site-specific winemaking and the enduring character of our Calistoga estate.
