Barbour 2022 “Estate” Cabernet Sauvignon St. Helena Napa Valley*

Tasting Notes: “Barbour Vineyard in St. Helena always seems to yield spectacular fruit with a very lifted, slightly perfumed flair to the purple boysenberry and blackberry notes. The 2022 Cabernet seems to emphasize those lifted, aromatic qualities even more intensely. In addition to the purple fruit, notes of plum, chocolate, and dark cocoa show off this youngest’s complexity. The mouthfeel is full, fruit-forward, and elegant, with approachable tannins and just enough grip to lend weight to the core. The finish echoes the aroma, with forward, juicy fruit notes.

Winery Notes: “Harvested by hand on September 13 and 27 from grapes grown in our two Saint Helena vineyards, the 2022 Barbour cabernet sauvignon is an elegant wine packed with juicy red and black fruits.  sweet, dusty barrel notes and spices add intrigue to the aromas. Celia’s characteristic silky, soft tannins combine with a fruity core that endures from approach through to an extended finish. In its youth, please enjoy the 2022 Barbour cabernet sauvignon following a brief decant.  it will continue to evolve for 20 years.”
