2022 Rockpile Ridge Vineyard Pritchett Block Cabernet Sauvignon

Crafted by winemaker Jesse Katz from the high-altitude Rockpile Ridge Vineyard, the 2022 Pritchett Block Cabernet Sauvignon is a masterclass in structure and depth, hailing from a unique microclimate 1,300 feet above sea level. The vineyard's proximity to the Pacific Ocean ensures a long growing season that yields a brooding, age-worthy wine characterized by a core of black plums, kirsch, and blackberries. Its powerful mineral backbone and graphite-driven intensity are balanced by elegant aromatics of violets and lilacs, while barrel notes of cocoa and peppercorn add complexity. This sophisticated Cabernet offers a silky yet formidable profile that rivals the top estates of Napa and Bordeaux, providing an experience that is both approachable in its youth and destined for long-term cellaring.
