Gorgeous intensity without pretense: Rombauer’s 2022 Napa Cabernet blends fruit from the valley’s finest AVAsSt. Helena, Calistoga, Oakville, Stags Leap, and Atlas Peakto create a wine with black currant, sweet red cherry, and mint backed by integrated oak and pie crust spice. Thirty percent of the fruit is barrel-fermented, deepening color and layering the fruit-oak interplay. The blend of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Petit Verdot, and 4% Cabernet Franc creates seamless structure with ripe, managed tannins.
