Yount Ridge Red Wine Sunshine Valley Vineyards Oak Knoll District Napa Valley 2022
Proprietary Blends | US
A stellar 95 points from Decanter, and another great Charles recommendation. We’re firmly on Napa’s hallowed ground here, with 100 point winemaker Jean Hoefliger sourcing from Sunshine Valley Vineyard (a favorite site of Alpha Omega). This 2022 is a blend of Cabernet, Malbec, Cab Franc, and Petite Verdot. The winery released the bottle at $150, so when you get the huge savings after adding just 1 bottle to your cart, it is an extreme value. Delicious dark berries, chocolate, mint, and a firm backbone.
