A World-Class Oakville Reserve At An Unbelievable Price
The 2022 Oakville Crossing Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon represents the pinnacle of the winery's estate program. Sourced exclusively from the estate's most distinguished vineyard blocks within the famed Oakville AVA, this Reserve bottling showcases the concentration, structure, and pedigree that have made Oakville one of the most sought-after Cabernet Sauvignon regions in the world.
Awarded 94 Points by Decanter, this remarkable wine delivers extraordinary depth and refinement while remaining accessible today. For Napa Cabernet collectors and enthusiasts, opportunities to secure a highly rated Oakville Reserve at this price point are exceptionally rare.
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
Near-opaque ruby-garnet in the glass with remarkable depth and concentration.
The nose reveals layered aromas of blackcurrant, ripe Bing cherry, dark plum, graphite, crushed violet, cedar cigar box, and fine dark chocolate.
On the palate, the wine is powerful yet impeccably balanced. Rich cassis, blackberry, espresso, black olive, and baking spice unfold across a full-bodied framework supported by polished, fine-grained tannins.
Despite its impressive structure and 14.6% alcohol, the wine maintains remarkable precision and freshness.
The finish is exceptionally long, complex, and cellar-worthy, lingering with dark fruit, graphite, and subtle oak spice.
Winemaking & Cellaring Potential
Hand-harvested from Oakville Crossing's finest Reserve vineyard blocks, the fruit was meticulously sorted before fermentation in small-lot open-top tanks using native and selected yeasts. Extended maceration and gentle extraction techniques were employed to build the wine's extraordinary depth, concentration, and finely polished tannin structure.
Following fermentation, the wine was matured in premium French oak barrique with a high proportion of new oak, allowing the Cabernet's powerful Oakville fruit character to integrate seamlessly with layers of cedar, graphite, baking spice, and dark chocolate complexity. Bottled unfined to preserve maximum texture and terroir expression, this Reserve represents the pinnacle of the estate's winemaking program.
While already remarkably expressive today, the wine's structure, concentration, and balance suggest significant aging potential. Properly cellared, it is expected to evolve beautifully over the next 12–20 years, developing additional complexity while maintaining the precision and elegance that earned its 94-Point Decanter rating.

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.
