"The deep red 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Mariana,s comes from a ridge south of Peter Martin Rey farmed by Bill Brousseau, and by comparison, it,s more intense in its fruit character. It,s expressive and beautiful on the nose, with surprising purity in its cassis, raspberry liqueur, hints of red apple, and floral perfume. Bringing more intensity compared to the Peter Martin Rey, it,s fully ripe, has notable freshness, and a long finish. It should have at least 15 years of longevity. Drink 2026-2040."
