2022 Gamble Estates Mount Veeder Red Wine
The 2022 Gamble Estates Mount Veeder Red Wine opens with black cherry and fresh blueberry aromas, accented by menthol and crushed rocks. As the wine develops, it reveals mountain-driven flavors of blackberries and graphite. Subtle spice from well-integrated oak and firm tannins create a fresh, tight structure, finishing with a hint of mint.
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.
