Tasting notes
The 2022 Loess mixes crushed plums with nuances of mint, lavender, balsamic spices and dusty black currants to form its darkly alluring bouquet. Velvety textures wash across the palate, lifted by zesty acidity as citrus-tinged red berries mix with cedary spice and crisp mineral tones. It is long and crunchy in feel, finishing with extreme length and a saturation of primary concentration as a web of edgy tannins pinches at the cheeks.

Leading in 80% Cabernet Sauvignon with 10% Malbec and 10% Petit Verdot, grown at moderate elevation, the 2022 Loess Vineyard is distinctly herbal in character, given 22 months in new French oak barrel. Black fruit-dominant, the tannins are firm and supportive, lengthening the palate and showing aging potential of 15-20 years.
