Suscol Springs Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
Trade Tools
America / Napa Valley
Grapevines at our Suscol Springs estate are planted amid rocky outcroppings that overlook the valley floor. The effort to develop roots in these rocky soils creates a beneficial stress that causes vines to yield smaller berries of great concentration, balanced acidity, and supple tannins. This vineyard also experiences warm, sunny days and cool breezes—perfect conditions for ripening Cabernet Sauvignon to beautiful varietal expression.

Harvest Note
The 2022 growing season in Napa Valley was marked by mild temperatures and steady ripening, creating ideal conditions for rich flavor development. Ongoing drought naturally controlled vine vigor and yields, leading to concentrated aromas and depth. Warm weather persisted into harvest, allowing Cabernet Sauvignon to reach peak maturity with refined tannins and a beautifully structured profile.
Tasting Note
Aromas of blackberry, red plum, and green cardamom rise from the glass, layered with dried bay leaf and a hint of baking spice. The palate is rich with raspberry jam and fig, accented by fresh herbs and a touch of nutmeg. Moderate tannins provide structure, while vibrant acidity and a streak of minerality carry through to a fresh, balanced finish.
