ROUTESTOCK CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2022

RouteStock Cellars crafts wines from the signature varietals grown along the wine routes traveled in the world s most celebrated wine regions. These are classic grape varieties, best suited to each different wine-growing region and sourced from family-owned vineyards. RouteStock Cellars invites wine enthusiasts to enjoy these wines inspired by the beautiful vineyards and the families that tend them along these historic wine routes. Winemaker Wayne Donaldson, who brings 26 years of experience in the wine industry, including tenures with Domaine Chandon and Gallo s premium brands portfolio, produces the Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon for RouteStock Cellars. The deep purple color of the wine extends to the rim of the glass, giving way to an explosive nose that exemplifies the essence of Napa Valley, with aromas of black fruit, dark cocoa, coffee, and deep plum. On the palate, the wine is thick, rich, and full-bodied, displaying a beautiful balance between fruit, tannin, acidity, oak, and alcohol. Flavors of chocolate, blackberry, bay laurel, and sweet French oak penetrate the palate and linger for minutes, while the wine s strength and power are constrained by bright acidity, fruit, and just the right amount of balancing tannin, resulting in a savory and chewy yet bright and vibrant experience.
