2022 Stony Hill "SHV" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
95
Decanter
This Cabernet is a blend of "early" Stony Hill, Linda Falls and Ink Grade. Beautifully floral and fresh with soaring notes of graphite, eucalyptus, and bay leaf. It's a proper mountain Cabernet with fresh red and blue fruits, sapid intensity and gorgeous freshness.This low-abv Cabernet Sauvignon eschews the heat impacted 2022 vintage, giving impressions of a cool, long vintage. A delightfully fresh take on Napa Cabernet. The 2022 wines were produced by Reid Griggs, formerly of MacDonald Vineyard, Dalla Valle and Harlan, he brings a deep understanding of how to craft great Cabernet.

Notes
A first for Stony Hill, a bottling that combines Spring Mountain estate grown fruit along with fruit from their sister property Heitz Cellars on Howell Mountain. The Howell Mountain fruit comes from Linda Falls and Ink Grade Vineyards. All the vineyards are tended using organic and biodynamic farming. The winery writes: "This "one of one" bottling showcases some of the most prestigious mountain fruit (from opposing mountain ranges) joining together in one glass."
