"From Mount Veeder, the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Paratus comes from 50-year-old vines on a site that contributed a large portion to Mayacamas,s Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine is ripe and minty, with fresh herbs, wild black raspberries, and framboise. The palate is fresh and inviting, with fine tannins and a long-lasting finish. Drink over the coming 20 years."
