2022 Fluffy Billows Cabernet Preview
Description
Tasting NotesThis wine is a balance between restrained alcohol, pronounced acidity and impressive ripeness of fruit; 2022 will be a standout vintage for many years to come. On the palate, interwoven notes of classic Cabernet cassis, blackberry and plum but green pepper and floral tones of Cabernet Franc appear, along with the deep notes of black cherry, sage and lavender from the addition of Petit Verdot. Two years in French Oak have added a complex spice box of flavors, showing cardamom and cinnamon layered in a framework of integrated oak tannins. This vineyard site continually produces wines of great polish and drinkability, making them a joy to open while still young. A joy to drink by itself or can handle spiced dishes such as Moroccan Chicken Tagine, or a simple cheese course. Due to the ripe flavors of the vintage this wine is best enjoyed 5-15 years old.
