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.

Beautifully aromatic, this Cabernet is sourced from four of the best Red Mountain sites: Grand Ciel, Ciel du Cheval, Upchurch and Klipsun vineyards. This wine was a proposal to take some of the top fruit that goes into the classic Delille wine, D2 and elevate it. Graceful floral notes, dried desert scrub, and eucalyptus pushes elegance to the fore of this wine's aromatic profile. The palate is complex, with ripe red and black currants expressing refinement and class. It is well framed by dried mint, lavender, and a mineral note of crushed granite. -Clive Pursehouse

Pairing Suggestion

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.
