Wappo Hill Vineyard, in the Stags Leap District, was first planted in 1969. Produced from 100% Clone 685 Cabernet Sauvignon, this bottling is sourced from hillside vines planted on well-drained, gravelly, and clay-loam soils. The vines thrive with ample afternoon sun bookended by cool mornings and evenings and produce intensely flavored fruit with exceptionally balanced acidity. The wine features notes of blackberry, red cherry, and briary aromas that combine with pleasing threads of baking spice, floral petal, and dusty earth tones. This stunning wine shows the tremendous power of a classic Napa Valley Cabernet with a polished, long-lasting finish.

Accolades

95 Pts. "Sourced from the DN2 block at the base of the Hartwell Estate, this wine is terrifically lush with a dark-fruited profile and compelling layers of complexity. Notes of capsicum, fennel, and thyme mingle with tobacco and graphite, adding intrigue to the nose. Full-bodied, it boasts a rich core of loamy earth complemented by a host of ripe blueberry fruit, bay leaf, and firm, fine-grained tannins. The structure is beautifully framed by aspine of crisp, crunchy acidity, delivering balance and vibrancy—a wine with depth and poise."— Jonathan Cristaldi, Decanter

93 Pts. "Coming from a single block in this Stag's Leap vineyard, the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Wappo Hill Vineyard is deep ruby/plum-hued and reveals a lifted, perfumed nose of red plums, incense, darker chocolate, and graphite-driven aromatics. These carry to a medium to full-bodied, concentrated, textured, expressive 2022 that's perfect for drinking over the coming 10-15 years."— Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com
