Tasting notes
The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Helms Vineyard showed beautifully, and you'd be hard-pressed to peg it as a 2022. Coming from the vineyard around the estate in Rutherford, it has a gorgeous nose of red and black plums, spicy oak, tobacco, and chocolate. This carries to a full-bodied 2022 with plenty of mid-palate depth, ripe, sweet tannins, and a great finish. It's certainly more forward and approachable than previous vintages (it's not far off the style of the 2019), yet it's still going to have two decades of longevity.
