The Wine Palate
“The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Rocca Collinetta Vineyard is deep garnet-purple colored. It slowly emerges from the glass with fragrant notes of dried roses, unsmoked cigars, and forest floor, leading to a core of warm cassis and juicy plums. The full-bodied palate delivers taut, muscular black fruit with a firm, grainy texture and soft acidity, finishing long and earthy. (LPB)” (12/2025)

Wine Advocate
“All Clone 337 aged in 100% new French oak for 22 months, there are 150 cases of the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Rocca Collinetta Vineyard, which is from a site in Coombsville. Scents of dusty cherries, crushed stone, dried herbs and dark chocolate all appear on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is streamlined and smooth, showing ample length on the finish. (JC)” (10/2024)

2022 Modus Operandi "Sage Ridge Vineyard" Cabernet Sauvignon
Quantity: 1
Bottle Size: 750 ml
Provenance: Original owner. Purchased directly from the winery on release and stored in a temperature controlled cellar.
Modus Operandi Cellars is a small-production winery founded by Jason Moore, with a focus on vineyard-designate wines that emphasize terroir and balance. Sage Ridge Vineyard sits high on the eastern slopes of Napa Valley, where rocky volcanic soils, elevation, and significant diurnal shifts produce Cabernet Sauvignon with intense concentration and pronounced structural detail. Moore’s restrained cellar approach preserves the site’s natural tension and mineral character, resulting in a wine that favors precision and age-worthiness over overt opulence.

The Wine Palate
“The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Sage Ridge Vineyard is deep garnet-purple colored. It gallops out with powerful notes of crème de cassis and plum preserves, plus suggestions of incense, cumin seed, and crushed rocks. The full-bodied palate is plump and spicy with lightly chewy tannins and seamless freshness to support, finishing long and earthy. (LPB)” (12/2025)
