2022 Coup De Foudre ‘Lightning Bolt’ Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

VIN94 The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Lightning Bolt is a dark, brooding offering from Coup de Foudre. Like all the wines in this range, it is on the lighter side, yet all the elements are well balanced. Macerated cherry, plum, gravel, lavender and rose petal build in the glass. The tannins could use time to soften, but this is very nicely done, especially within the context of the year.
Estate Notes: The 2022 Coup de Foudre Lightning Bolt: This wine always sells out lightning fast! It is only produced when we feel there are barrels worthy of presenting 100% Cab Sauv as a stand-alone and this year there was no question. Showing exquisite varietal character, the 2022 vintage is rich with elements of Cacao, blackberry, subtle spice, and warm custard balanced by great natural acidity and a velvety tannin structure. The approachability of this release is remarkable! 80% New French Oak. Aged 18 months. Only 6 barrels produced.
