Why Liquor Geeks recommends it

This is a Cabernet Sauvignon-led Bordeaux-style blend from Napa Valley, and the 2022 vintage shows real power held in check by polish. Expect blackberry, cassis and black cherry up front, threaded with graphite, cocoa and cedar, plus herb, cardamom and clove that build as the wine opens in the glass. The tannins are silky but well structured, carrying espresso and subtle oak spice into a long, layered finish. It suits two kinds of buyer. One is the collector laying bottles down, since the description points to decades of aging potential. The other is the enthusiast who wants a special-occasion Napa red to decant for a steak dinner. What sets it apart from more straightforward fruit-driven Napa reds is the spice and herb layering woven through the dark fruit. We carry it because it rewards patience either way. You can open one after an hour in a decanter, or tuck a few away and watch them evolve over the years.

Pairs well with

Prime rib or filet mignon — The silky but structured tannins and dark fruit stand up to rich, savory beef.
Gruyère and blue cheese board — Nutty and bold cheeses play off the wine's cocoa, espresso and baking-spice layers.
Milestone celebration dinner — A long-lived, collector-minded vintage with a long, complex finish makes for a fitting bottle to open on an occasion worth remembering.
