The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon offers high quality for its modest price. Matured for 10 months in 15% new French oak barriques, it's scented of red cherries, charcuterie, aniseed and dried herbs. The full-bodied palate is concentrated and savory with soft, grainy tannins, refreshing acidity and a layered finish. 140,000 cases produced.

For the price, the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Cs overdelivers in quality, with winemaker Charles Smith producing a sultry, big-boned, yet refined varietal wine that's revealing in blackcurrant, cedar, and tobacco. Medium-bodied, it is well-integrated in terms of tannin and oak, with a youthful verve that keeps it long and herbal on the finish.

Blueberry, violets, spring flowers, and some violet notes all emerge from the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Cs, a plush, ripe, rounded Cabernet Sauvignon offering soft tannins, terrific purity, and a great finish. It's going to be one hell of a house red. There are just under 200,000 cases of this, so it should be easy to find.
