2022 Four Flags Cabernet Sauvignon 1.5L
Red Mountain AVA
The 2022 Four Flags showcases the power and restraint that Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon is known for, emphasized by the extra hang time granted by the ideal growing conditions of the vintage. Whiffs of Mountain huckleberry, black plum, maraschino cherry, and graphite quickly awaken the olfactory. The palate is dense yet inviting, with flavors of graham cracker, chocolate truffle, and anise well-matched by chewy tannins. This vintage displays a captivating balance of toasty oak, savory herbal notes, and big fruit flavors that make this special effort sing. Drink now or cellar for 15+ years.

This composed and balanced red shows blackcurrants, plums, sage and bay leaves on the nose. It’s full-bodied and fruit-forward, with fine, polished tannins. A blend of fruit from Grand Ciel, Ciel du Cheval, Upchurch and Klipsun vineyards. Excellent drinkability already, but better from 2027.
