2022 Caterwaul Wines Cabernet Sauvignon, Sonoma County   

Sourced from an old-vine vineyard just over the Napa County line on the backside of Mount Saint Helena, our Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon continues to produce a complex wine. Ruby red color on the edges quickly plunges into a dark crimson. Fresh-crushed bright raspberry, dark plum, and black tea leap from elevated aromatics. On the palate this wine pulls no punches. A weighty, expressive mouthfeel shows structure and complexity across the tasting experience. Chewy tannins frame notes of dark cherry, sandalwood, blackcurrant, and dried herbs de provence. The depth of the midpalate creates a runway for a long, seamless finish. A brightness on the back end shows the balance of the vintage and ties to initial aromatics, completing the circuit and signaling time for the next sip. We hope to pass along the quality and value given by this unique site in this special bottling.
