Tasting Notes:
"Sourced from the GnR Vineyard in Napa Valley’s Oak Knoll District, this Cabernet Sauvignon displays deep ruby-purple in the glass with intense saturation. Aromas of black cherry, dark plum, and cassis come to the forefront, underscored by savory notes of cedar spice, forest floor, and dark chocolate. The palate is rich and concentrated, offering layers of blackberry, black currant, and ripe plum, complemented by toasted oak influences of vanilla, espresso, and clove. Supple yet firm tannins provide structure, while subtle hints of creaminess add polish and depth. Aged 28 months in 67% new French oak. Only 50 cases produced."

Vintage Notes:
The 2022 growing season in Napa Valley brought challenges—from late spring frost to September heat spikes—that naturally reduced yields. But with lower yields came greater intensity. The expertise of the John Anthony Winemaking and Vineyard Management team transcended these events, creating red wines that show deep color, luxurious tannins, and vibrant, fruit-forward aromatics, with a balance of power and elegance that reflects the vintage’s dramatic swings in weather. The resulting more limited production will create even greater demand for John Anthony’s signature Cabernets.
