ANZA Artist Reserve 2022 is the flagship expression from ANZA, crafted from the finest lots of estate-grown and carefully selected Napa Valley vineyards. The blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Merlot brings together the depth, structure, and complexity associated with Napa Valley Cabernet while maintaining a polished, balanced character.
The 2022 growing season delivered warm days and cool nights that supported gradual ripening and concentration. Hand-harvested at peak maturity, the fruit produced a deeply expressive wine with layers of dark fruit, cassis, mocha, graphite, and toasted oak. Aged for 22 months in French oak, including 75% new French oak, it offers concentrated fruit, silky tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, polished finish. With only 350 cases produced, the Artist Reserve is built to enjoy now or cellar through 2035 and beyond.
Winemaking Notes
The Reserve was crafted from three individual estate blocks, all hand-picked and hand-sorted. Malolactic fermentation occurred in French oak barrels, and the wine was aged for 22 months—one-third in new oak and two-thirds in neutral. Final blending was completed two months prior to bottling to ensure harmony, balance, and a refined expression of the estate fruit.
Tasting Notes
Appearance
Deep ruby with brilliant clarity and a vibrant garnet edge.
Aroma
Expressive aromas of ripe black currant, dark plum, and red cherry layered with cedar, vanilla, and subtle graphite.
Palate
Medium to full-bodied with concentrated dark fruit, polished French oak, and silky, well-integrated tannins that provide remarkable balance and elegance.
Finish
Long, smooth, and persistent with lingering dark fruit, refined oak spice, and subtle mineral complexity.
Sourced from a single vineyard in Napa Valley's renowned Oak Knoll District AVA, the VIA Napa 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon highlights the elegance and balance that define one of the valley's coolest growing regions. Cooling marine breezes from nearby San Pablo Bay extend the growing season, allowing the fruit to ripen gradually while preserving vibrant acidity, aromatic complexity, and refined structure. Well-drained gravelly loam soils naturally encourage balanced vine growth and concentrated fruit, resulting in a Cabernet Sauvignon known for its bright character, silky tannins, and exceptional freshness.
The outstanding 2022 growing season combined warm afternoons with cool evenings, creating ideal conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon with remarkable purity and balance. After harvest, the wine was aged for 22 months in French oak barrels, adding subtle layers of cedar and baking spice while allowing the vibrant fruit to remain the focus. Produced in just 100 cases, this limited-production Cabernet offers polished structure, elegant complexity, and the ability to enjoy now with decanting or cellar through 2035 and beyond.

Vineyard & Winemaking
ANZA Artist Reserve is sourced from the finest estate vineyards and top sites across Napa Valley, representing selected blocks and lots of Cabernet Sauvignon and complementary varieties. The vineyards contain diverse volcanic and alluvial soils that provide excellent drainage and contribute mineral complexity, depth, and structure to the finished wine. ANZA's vineyards are farmed using sustainable practices focused on soil health, biodiversity, and long-term vineyard vitality.
The 2022 vintage benefited from a mild winter and spring followed by warm days and cool nights throughout the summer, allowing the grapes to reach optimal maturity while maintaining balance. Fruit was hand-harvested between September 15 and October 10, 2022, then aged for 22 months in French oak barrels, 75% of which was new French oak. The result is a concentrated yet balanced Napa Valley Cabernet with polished tannins and the structure to develop with further cellaring.
Winemaking & Vineyard
Sourced entirely from Perennial Vineyard, this single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon reflects the balance and consistency that define this distinctive Napa Valley site. Careful farming practices allow the fruit to reach optimal ripeness while preserving freshness and varietal character, creating a wine that expresses both richness and precision.
Following harvest, the wine was aged for 20 months in French oak barrels, adding subtle layers of cedar, vanilla, and structure without overshadowing the vineyard's natural fruit expression. The result is a beautifully balanced Cabernet Sauvignon with silky tannins, refined complexity, and a long, elegant finish.

What the Experts Are Saying
Expert Tasting Notes, Ultimate Wine Challenge
Impressive nose of smoky cassis, pipe tobacco, cedar, vanilla bean, resin, and saddle leather. A chorus of stewed black fruits, sweet spice, vanilla, and oak build on the palate, with pleasing drying tannins to add structure.
Expert Tasting Notes, Ultimate Wine Challenge
Dried black currants, nutmeg, dried tobacco, and cocoa nibs abound on the nose. The palate is rich and structured with blackberry jam, cedar, and sweet spice. The finish is equally rich and jammy with a long, smooth finish.
Expert Tasting Notes, Ultimate Wine Challenge
Freshly sliced bresaola, vine ripe tomatoes, and cassis are sweet and savory aromas. Bold flavors are bright and juicy with blackcurrants and blackberries, dusty cocoa powder, an earthy mineral flare. The big flavors here would do well next to a richly marbled steak.
