Crushed blackberries and cherries mix with rosemary and ashen stone as the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Hilltop comes to life in the glass. Silky smooth, it washes across the palate with a cascade of ripe black fruits and licorice tones as a tinge of graphite informs the close. Hints of mocha mingle with edgy tannins through the long and staining finish. The 2022 leaves a lingering tart berry concentration on the close.
