Lake Sonoma 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon

Description

92 Points Natalie MacLean

If you love the savoury elements of great Cabernet, then you are going to love this wine. It’s still perfectly ripe, but the spice and herbal notes steal the show. Lake Sonoma Winery is owned by the Stewart family that also owns Quail’s Gate, so it’s almost like buying Canadian when you grab a few bottles of this fabulous wine.

“From Sonoma County, Lake Sonoma Winery 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon is a lush, savoury, full-bodied and intense Cab with ripe dark fruits, blackberry, dark chocolate, vanilla and toasty oak spice flavours on the palate. Tannins are fine and firm. Decant a couple of hours and pour with a roast beef dinner.”

-Natalie MacLean

Expressing the diversity of Sonoma County?s growing regions: the earthy structure of the Alexander Valley and bright red fruit of Sonoma Valley.

Aromas of bright floral and violet lead to deeper notes of toasty oak, black currant, tobacco and oiled leather. The palate offers red

and black currants, Bing cherry and cocoa powder with a moderate weight and plenty of supple, chewy tannins. Ready to drink now, or can cellar up to 10 years.

Lake Sonoma Winery focuses on the individual appellations in Northern Sonoma County where California?s top grape varieties achieve their ultimate expression of character. Zinfandel and Sauvignon Blanc come from Dry Creek Valley, where gravelly soils and a climate of warm days and cool nights produce intense fruit and impressive balance. Chardonnay and Pinot Gris are grown in the very cool, often foggy Russian River Valley, where they develop rich, crisp character. Cabernet Sauvignon is drawn from Alexander Valley, where fertile soils and a very warm climate result in mouth-filling character and smooth texture.
