The 2022 Arkenstone NVD Cabernet opens with a gorgeous wave of rich dark fruit, layering blackberries, dark cherry, and fig preserves. On the palate, it’s sumptuous and beautifully proportioned with a seamless interplay of ripe fruit, fine structure, and lively acidity. The texture is luxuriously mouth-filling, carrying notes of strawberry jam and dark cherry across the mid-palate. A long, chewy finish seals this as one of the most complete and compelling Napa Cabernets at this price in 2022.
