Winemaker Notes

The 2022 Amaryllis Cabernet Sauvignon is 96% Cabernet Sauvignon, blended with 4% Merlot. Showing a densely packed ruby red color, this wine shows black cherry and plum fruits, enveloped in hints of vanilla and spice. Medium bodied, the mountain fruit still shows a layer of tannin that sits at the base of the juicy Dark cherry and black raspberry flavors. This wine will develop an extended finish with 3 to 5 years of bottle aging.

Harvest Notes

The 2022 growing season began relatively normally, leading to an early start to the harvest. However, in late September, we faced a 10-day stretch of temperatures exceeding 100°F, which caused sugar levels in early-ripening reds to spike, resulting in some lots being out of balance. Fortunately, the later-ripening lots were unaffected, ripening only about a week earlier than anticipated. Harvest took place at night of October 14th.
