Winemaker Notes
 
This 2022 vintage is a powerful and deeply expressive Cabernet Sauvignon. Aromas of black currant, plum, and cedar leap from the glass, leading to a big, juicy entry on the palate. Layered flavors of currant and black cherry are enriched by elegant clove notes. The wine’s bold, coating tannins provide structure and depth, while subtle hints of wet slate add complexity to the dark, brooding finish.
This vineyard is named for its prized location on State Lane north of the Yountville Crossroad and northeast of the town of Yountville. This distinct vineyard relies on its rocky, loam soil for excellent drainage throughout the year. The vines, as well as the clusters, are moderate in size and the vineyard gets full sun throughout the day.
