2022 Adaptation Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley

The 2022 Adaptation Cabernet Sauvignon beckons with bright notes of ripe raspberry, candied lingonberry, and savory sage. As it unfurls in glass, brambly blackberry and blueberry dominate the stage, supported by sauteed shiitake mushroom, black pepper, and a flash of icy mint. Inviting acidity ushers classic flavors of cassis and plum, folded into svelte tannins layered with damp granite, vanilla, and rich Cadbury chocolate dusted with chai spices.
