2022 Cabernet Sauvignon, Fig Tree Vineyard

St. Helena, Napa Valley

The 2022 Fig Tree Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a standout Napa Valley wine, offering a harmonious blend of complexity and approachability. It presents a deep, inky garnet hue in the glass, hinting at its richness.

On the palate, this full-bodied Cabernet showcases lush flavors of black cherry and juicy blueberry, complemented by the subtle bitterness of unsweetened cocoa. A creamy texture adds depth, while an underlying earthiness enhances its structure.

Vineyard Notes

Located at end of Crystal Springs Road, this location is a dream for growing grapes in Napa. Tucked at the bottom of Glass Mountain, this land experiences cooler mornings and less intense heat that our other vineyards. Replanted to bear Bordeaux varietals, we are thrilled with the quality this vineyard is bringing. Usually the last of our sites to ripen, the rocky and loamy soil of Fig Tree helps devigorate the vines and improve the tannin structure of the grapes. Since it’s shaded from the early morning sun, peak exposure is late in the day. As the warm ground helps the grapes to ripen, the sun lowers over the Mayacamas, causing the berries to take on a slightly translucent cast
