Rombauer Vineyards Rombauer Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 750ml

This deep and concentrated wine is as smooth as silk, scented with black currants, spearmint and a touch of toast, then soothes the palate with velvety tannins and lush, ripe fruit flavors. While easy to sip, it has a subtle, restrained tannin structure. Best–2028. (Jim Gordon)

A plush, fresh and juicy red that's so comfortable and easy. Made from grapes grown in both mountain and valley vineyards, and blended with 6% petit verdot and 4% cabernet franc. A large 30% of the fruit is barrel fermented, a labor intensive practice that helps deepen the color and improve the layering of fruit and oak nuances. Full-bodied and moderately tannic. Drink now or hold.

Aromas of blackberries and currants with spicy herbs, pine wood and crushed rocks. Medium- to full-bodied, sleek and polished with soft tannins and silky texture. Juicy, blue-fruited finish. Drink now. (James Suckling)

A solid, direct offering, with cherry and plum preserves lined with light red licorice, earth and tobacco hints, which help extend the finish. Drink now through 2031. 32,985 cases made. (James Molesworth)

Rombauer's 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon is almost entirely estate grown and optically sorted. Mixed red and black cherries dominate the nose, accented by hints of dried sage and bay leaf. In the mouth, this full-bodied wine is plush and easy to drink. It's not a long-term keeper, but it's really attractive now and will be for the next several years.
