$70/bottle under the original label.

Lot 450 comes to us from a single vineyard source on the northeast slope of the mountain, made by a producer whose bountiful '23 harvest led them to make some of their '22 batch available – as always, we were happy to pounce on it for our list.

The wine draws you into the glass through intense aromas of dark fruit and cassis, intermingled with hints of herbs. A deep, focused palate contains richness and depth from start to finish, showcasing medium-grained integrated tannins and a medium acidity that strikes a fine balance between fruit and oak, with fruit overtaking spice from the barrel influence by the slightest of margins on the finish. Not brooding or overly tannic, the taste of black fruits resonates long after the last sip.

I'd Happily Open Any Night!

"A reliable, easy-to-love cabernet with great balance. It hit that sweet spot of richness without being heavy. Loved this!"

— Nelson (5/5)

A Good Sipper From Meal Prep Through Dessert

"Very approachable. Enjoyed this one as a slow sipper. Opened up nicely during the process and into the meal. Would give it four and one-half stars if that were an option."

— Roger K. (4/5)

Another Amazing Value

"We bought one to try it with friends. We all loved it and got 3 more bottles for the next time we got together. We highly recommend this wine."

Aging Beautifully…

"DG450 opens with a lovely blueberry-forward dark-fruit nose that’s underpinned by herbaceous notes. On the palate, receding tannins are backed by lively acidity, and beautifully balanced dark fruit, accompanied by barrel spice, and a long, long rich fruit finish. Delicious."

— Nigel B. (5/5)

Lot 450 - let it open

"We very much enjoyed this expression. BUT you need to let it open for 1. 5-2 hours to really fine its character"

— Kyle A. (4/5)

Silky Smooth

Stellar Cab!

"This bottle has opened up nicely with a few months since bottling. Full of flavor but not overbearing with a clean finish."

— Nate L. (5/5)

2022 Sonoma Mt. Cab
