Note di degustazione
In addition to fruit from the Jackson Family's mountain holdings (Diamond Mountain, Howell Mountain, Mount Veeder and Spring Mountain), the 2022 Cardinale includes grapes from the Atlas Peak, Rutherford, Saint Helena and Stags Leap District AVAs. It spent 22 months in 81% new French oak, resulting in a wine redolent of cedar, black cherries and vanilla. Truthfully, it's not as complex as you might hope for, but it's still a mighty impressive mouthful of Cabernet, being full-bodied and velvety-textured. It's not quite plush, showing just a bit of chewy tannin at the moment, but it should prove very enjoyable to drink over the next two decades.

97% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Merlot. From six different AVAs with quite a lot of Spring Mountain. Harvest 8 September to 7 October. Aged for 22 months in French oak, 81% new. Bottled unfined and unfiltered. Complex blend of elements. Still composing itself. Dry, persistent finish. Difficult to judge now as it’s so much more youthful than most of these wines. Some mintiness on the end. (JR)
Sourced from 14 different vineyards, the Cardinale Cabernet Sauvignon reveals alluring aromas of cassis, black fruits, new leather, and baking spices. Full-bodied and powerful, with remarkable richness and focus, it offers ripe, well-integrated tannins and a pleasure-bent yet sophisticated personality. Based on 96% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Merlot, aged 22 months in 81% new French oak, this classy wine will drink beautifully for two decades.
The 2022 Cardinal has a straightforward but fresh nose with touches of dark berry fruit and touches of tobacco. The palate is medium-bodied and fleshy with slightly dry tannins and maybe missing a little backbone. This is one for early consumption.
