2022 Dana Estates ‘Hershey Vineyard’ Cabernet Sauvignon

JS98 So much energy, with wild acidity that drives this sauvignon blanc, giving it such length and focus. Medium- to full-bodied with chewy phenolics that give it drive. Muscular but fresh.

JD96 I loved the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Hershey Vineyard, and this site clearly did well in the vintage. Ripe red and black plums, tobacco smoke, chocolate, and sappy garrigue-like nuances all give way to a full-bodied Howell Mountain Cabernet that’s concentrated, has a balanced, layered mouthfeel, plenty of tannins, and a great finish. It’s going to evolve nicely for two decades.
