Score 95/100 · Drink 2025-2040, Jeb Dunnuck, Mar 2025

Based on 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Petit Verdot from Calistoga, the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Artefact Kenefick Block 7 offers cassis, violets, red plums, leather, and spice, intermixed with loamy earth notes. Pure and complex, with medium to full-bodied richness on the palate, it shows terrific elegance, fine tannins, and impressive length. Drink over the coming 12-15 years.

Relic's 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Artefact is sourced from Calistoga's Kenefick Ranch, with the small amount of Petit Verdot (8%) seemingly playing an outsized role. It's dark and plummy on the nose and medium to full-bodied in the mouth. Remarkably fresh and mouthwatering, framed by silky tannins, this is an excellent wine, even if it doesn't scream Calistoga Cabernet to this taster.
