Barnett Vineyards Barnett Vineyards Rattlesnake Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 750ml

The pinnacle of the range at Barnett is the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Rattlesnake Estate Bottled. It's the most concentrated of the various bottlings, accenting black cherries, cassis and raspberry notes with hints of crushed stone and pencil shavings. Full-bodied and firm but approachable, it's a classic mountain Cabernet with two decades of potential longevity.

Coming from Spring Mountain, the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Rattlesnake reveals a beautiful bouquet of blue fruits, violets, and lifted red and black plums, with darker chocolate notes adding complexity. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it shows a round, supple texture with exotic incense and perfumed nuances. This elegant, focused effort will drink nicely over the coming 7-10 years.
