2022 Gamble Estates Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2022 Gamble Estates Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon reveals a deep purple color with rich notes of plum, blueberries, and a hint of cigar. The silky mouthfeel carries flavors of blueberry pie and dark chocolate, with subtle touches of anise. Soft tannins provide balanced tension, leading to a refined finish of black fruits and baking spices.

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.
