Reviews
Not bad but not one I would buy again
"Not my favorite as it has a funky smell of pine and eucalyptus. Mineral taste but with firm tannins that add structure that is appealing. If you like something like this that is very different, you’ll love it, but it’s just not hitting me the right way."

2022 Napa Valley cab
"I think 2022 was the best year for this Cabernet! Dark and color and very full body"

Another Very Good 2022 Napa Cab
"I’ve been really enjoying the 2022 harvest and Lot 454 fell right in line. We had it with a rack of lamb and opened another bottle after polishing off the first."

Balanced and inviting
"This was quite balanced and attractive with inviting fruit and a hint of dryness on the finish. Light to medium bodied, this looked quite thin - definitely more about delicacy vs. power. Will need more time to show better, but the potential is there. I might pick up more. 93++ pts."

Highly recommended
"Cool thing is when I try De Négoce wine and you’ve forgotten the details behind it, is that you look at a label and it says very minimal about the wine. No fancy bottles, labels or vineyard names. With no expectations, I sat down tonight and poured a glass of this 454 to go with a hamburger. Wow, what a pleasant surprise. Delicious, smooth tannins and long finish. Really good. Highly recommended."

Excellent boldness and flavor
"This heavy cab tasted like a 100 dollar bottle. Was ready to drink and will be ordering again!"

Bien estructurado sin ser meloso
"Un cabernet refinado. Con abundantes notas de fruta roja madura pero sin llegar a ser empalagoso. De buen cuerpo y taninos amables"
— Juan R. (4/5)
Very light wine
"A Cab with a very mild bouquet. Very light and fruity flavor. The wine did not taste a Cab and was watered down. Disappointed!"
— Randy O. (2/5)
Nice medium bodied wine
"This cab is yet another quality wine from deNegoce! It's a little bit lighter with more red fruit than I personally like, but that will probably make it more versatile for food pairing. We found it to be a well-balanced, medium bodied wine with nice structure, dark cherry to currant notes, and some wood tone to it. Another great value wine from deNegoce."
