1467 Cellars Atlas Peak Cabernet Sauvignon 2022, Napa Valley, California Deep inky in color with a short reddish rim. Fruity nose of black currants, black plums, blackberries, vanilla, cedar, licorice, light cola, eucalyptus, chocolates, Indian spices and peppercorn. Full-bodied and elegant with medium acidity and long legs. Dry and fruit forward on the palate with blackberries, black currants, cooked cherries, raspberries, peppercorn, chocolates, spices and light oak. Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and cranberries. This young Cabernet Sauvignon from Atlas Peak in Napa Valley is already drinking beautifully. Nicely balanced with a soft mouthfeel. Elegant and rich. Fruit forward and complex. Still young and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly, but already enjoyable even by itself. Needed 2 hours to open up properly, so be patient. Well worth the wait. Loved the nose once it opened up. Tangy and interesting to drink by itself or with food. Paired nicely with my Ox tail. A tiny production of only 6 barrels. 14.5% alcohol by volume. 92 points. $75.
