Product Overview
Winemaker’s Notes“The 2022 Coeur de Vigne speaks to a philosophy of precision and restraint in a season that pushed for excess. It’s a Cabernet Sauvignon rooted in place but shaped by intention. The fruit profile leans vivid red currant, plum skin, and wild blueberry balanced by savory undertones of dried herbs and subtle earth. There’s real tension here: brightness and freshness upfront, with a firm tannin backbone that carries the wine through a long, focused finish. This Vintage of Coeur de Vigne reflects a warm growing season, yet maintains lift, definition, and structural integrity.”

92 Points – Wine Enthusiast“Ripe plums and black currants mix with cocoa, tobacco and pencil shavings carried by fine tannins, balanced length, and a velvety mouthfeel.” -ECB, 10/1/25
89 Points – Wine Spectator“This shows clear aspects of a warm year, with a burly edge to its warm earth and scorched alder and cedar frame, but there’s solid black currant fruit, along with a tobacco leaf note. A notable effort. Drink now through 2030. 3,275 cases made.” -JM, 8/4/25
