Coup de Foudre, Cabernet Sauvignon Vintage:2022 a blend of 80% Roussanne

a blend of 80% Roussanne and 20% white Grenache fermented 80% in tank and 20% in barrel

without the complexity and depth of the 2010s

While there is excellent intensity to the medium weight flavors the finish is at once rustic and tangy

grapefruit and poached pear

and wood character which in a vintage already tending toward fat and fullness some tasters may enjoy more than I did

Coup de Foudre, Cabernet Sauvignon Vintage:2022 a blend of 80% RoussanneThe 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon is impeccably done. Bright and focused, the 2022 impresses with its purity of fruit and fine balance. This is an especially floral, red toned wine for Calistoga, but that only adds to its appeal. Crushed flowers, cherry, menthol, rose petal and incense grace this attractive, understated Cabernet.
