Crafted by acclaimed winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown, the 2022 'Half Heaven' Cabernet Sauvignon is a powerful yet graceful expression of Calistoga terroir. In the glass, it presents a deep, inky garnet hue with a vibrant edge. The nose is immediately expressive, offering layers of ripe blueberry compote, blackberry liqueur, and wild strawberry, interwoven with notes of graphite, tobacco leaf, and perfumed incense. Hints of mocha, crushed violets, and warm volcanic earth add to the aromatic complexity.
On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with a seamless, silky texture. Juicy and alive, it bursts with dark fruit flavors—black cherry, cassis, and chocolate-dipped raspberries—balanced by refreshing acidity and beautifully integrated oak. The tannins are polished and fine-grained, giving structure without overpowering the wine's supple core. A long, mouthwatering finish leaves lingering impressions of espresso, minerality, and floral lift.
This is a vibrant, pure, and impeccably balanced Cabernet that showcases both the precision of its winemaker and the unique character of its estate vineyard.
