Lot 476
2022 Mendocino County Cabernet Sauvignon

$45/bottle under the original label

From a Napa family with some of the most legendary estate vineyards for Cabernet Sauvignon in all of Napa Valley, Mendocino, and Lake County, Lot 476 is a 100% single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon grown at their Ukiah site. For almost fifty years, it’s been an essential element in triple-digit Napa Valley Proprietary Reds.

On the nose, beautiful high-toned red fruit and cassis are underpinned by turned leaves, blue fruit, and soft leather. Terroir abounds on palate entry, with pepper, leather, cherry-esque acidity, and forest floor framed by medium+ acidity, wet stone minerality, and medium-grained crushed tannins. The finish is long, barrel-kissed with vanilla bean, spice, and resonant earthy tones that make for a wine that’s equally quaffable on its own or accompanying a meal.
