2022 Dana Estates ‘Montagna Vineyard’ Cabernet Sauvignon

JS98 A new wine from high vineyards in Pritchard Hill, with graphite, blackberries, terra cotta, basalt and iodine on the nose. Medium- to full-bodied with a real tannin presence. Muscular and formed, with a great finish. This is a serious new wine. Try after 2028.
JD95+ A new cuvée for this team, the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Montagna Vineyard comes from an incredible vineyard on Pritchard Hill. As you’d expect, it has plenty of mountain tannins and structure as well as rocking levels of red and black fruits, spicy wood, and crushed stone-like minerality. Full-bodied, concentrated, and nicely balanced, it’s one of the few 2022s that needs bottle age. Give bottles 3-4 years and enjoy over the following 15-20.
