2022 Gamble Estates Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

The Gamble Estates Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 comes from select blocks in the Family Home vineyard in Oakville. The wine offers an pronounced bouquet of blackberries, black cherry, and subtle notes of black licorice and cacao nibs. The wine’s mouthfeel is soft and elegant, with layers of dried fruits and tobacco. A lingering spice adds to the complexity, leading to a long, satisfying finish. The tannins are well-structured, providing support and balance to this richly textured wine.

The 2022 vintage in Napa Valley was marked by significant challenges, including an accelerated harvest and extreme weather. A heatwave in September, followed by sudden rain, created a demanding environment for grape growers.

With our deep understanding of the vineyard terroir, we were able to manage the challenging conditions, harvesting at the optimum time for each vineyard block so that the grapes reached full ripeness while maintaining crisp acidity. Our reds from this vintage are characterized by deep color, refined tannins, and vibrant aromatics.
