The 2022 Quartet Red Wine blends 71% Cabernet Sauvignon from Coombsville with 16% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc and 6% Syrah, all from Carneros. With only 19% new French oak, it's barely noticeable on the complex nose, which offers up hints of tobacco, sage and more floral elements alongside notes of cassis and black cherries. Medium to full-bodied in the mouth, it's silky and delicious, even if it may fall off just a bit on the finish to reveal a touch of caramel. It's hard to believe this is an "entry-level" wine—it's that good.
The entry-level release under this label, the 2022 Red Wine Quartet is upfront and beautifully fruited, with pure red, blue, and black fruits, some leafy herb and violet notes, medium to full body, and no hard edges. Drink this plump, sexy, forward effort over the coming 7-8 years or more.
