2022 Four Flags Cabernet 1.5L

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 stunning bottle of Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon from Delille Cellars is the 2021 Four Flags. Boasting a brooding deep purple core with a light purple rim, this rich, powerful, and spicy Cab gifts notes of crushed blackberries, black plums, cassis, sweet white tobacco leaves, cedary herbs, toasted earth, and shades of black licorice. Concentrated and decadent across the palate, it has the structure, tannins, and acidity to drink wonderfully over the next 15-20 years with proper cellaring. Highly recommended and editor’s choice.

Pairing Suggestion

Beef Bourguignon — We recommend pairing Four Flags with Beef Short Ribs, Venison Cheeks, Lamb Shanks, Burgers, or Earthy Vegetables. Tannin levels are high in this Cabernet Sauvignon, a trait typical of Red Mountain wine, pairing particularly well with nutty cheeses and oily fats.
