Crafted from a single vineyard in Napa Valley's acclaimed Oak Knoll District AVA, the VIA Napa 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon showcases the elegance and finesse of one of the valley's coolest growing regions. Cooling marine breezes from nearby San Pablo Bay allow the fruit to ripen slowly, preserving freshness while developing remarkable depth and complexity. Aged for 22 months in French oak, this limited-production Cabernet delivers refined structure, polished tannins, and vibrant fruit expression. Beautifully balanced today, it also has the pedigree to reward careful cellaring 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 in the glass with brilliant clarity and a vibrant garnet rim.
Aroma
Inviting aromas of black cherry, red currant, and cocoa unfold alongside subtle notes of cedar, baking spice, and dried herbs.
Palate
Medium to full-bodied and exceptionally polished, revealing layers of dark cherry, blackberry, cocoa, and gentle spice. Silky tannins and bright natural acidity create an elegant, seamless texture that reflects Oak Knoll's cool-climate character.
Finish
Long, graceful, and refined, with lingering dark fruit, soft oak spice, and refreshing acidity that encourages another sip.
Winemaking
The 2022 growing season provided ideal conditions for producing Cabernet Sauvignon with exceptional balance and purity. Warm Napa afternoons combined with cool evenings allowed the grapes to mature gradually while retaining their natural freshness. Following harvest, the wine was aged for 22 months in premium French oak barrels, adding subtle notes of spice and cedar without overshadowing the fruit. The result is a Cabernet that emphasizes elegance, structure, and remarkable drinkability.

Vineyard
The fruit for this wine comes exclusively from a single vineyard in the Oak Knoll District AVA, located at the southern end of Napa Valley. Influenced by cooling marine breezes from San Pablo Bay, Oak Knoll enjoys one of the valley's longest and most moderate growing seasons. Well-drained gravelly loam soils naturally limit vine vigor, producing concentrated fruit while preserving freshness. This unique terroir consistently creates Cabernet Sauvignon known for its refined tannins, vibrant fruit character, and exceptional balance rather than sheer power.

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.
