2023 Yount Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville

JD95 Deep purple-hued, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville reveals cassis, spring flowers, liquid violets, and hints of graphite, with classic Oakville black olive nuances. It’s medium-bodied, focused, very classic, pure, and graceful on the palate, with the serious style of the vintage. Give bottles 2-4 years if you can, and drink over the following two decades. Drink 2027-2047.

JS94 Floral and herbaceous, with aromas of black currants, olive brine, iodine, chocolate and bay laurel. The palate is full-bodied with a generous texture, fine tannins and a mouthwatering, minerally finish. Plenty to like now, but time in the bottle is sure to reward you. Drink or hold.
