Roubaix Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Harvested October 14, 2022

2022 was a season of fire and ice with a mix of cool weather and heat waves that created the perfect pairing for a and long growing season. Throughout the summer the vines adapted to the cool and hot conditions producing clusters with small concentrated berries and refined tannins. During the early part of October the berries came to their peak of ripeness and where ready to be hand harvested. Harvest occurred early in the morning and was transported to the winery and processed within hours of the first berry coming off the vine. Berries are destemmed and hand sorted with attention to detail and only the purest berries are transferred
to the fermentation tank. Fermentation occurred in a small stainless tank with gentle pump overs to extract all the flavors and structure the berries had to give.

The wine aged New Tarransaud and Montilgard French oak barrels for 28 months before bottling in March 2025. Aromas of dark cherry, blackberry and ripe red raspberry are complemented by nuances of chocolate, dark roasted coffee, sage, anise and tobacco. The palate has firm tannins with flavors of black currant, cherry and candied raspberry. Sweet oak is present with hints of baking spices, vanilla and clove.

The 2022 Roubaix Cabernet Sauvignon highlights the quality of the 2022 vintage, from a little place we like to call home with generous plush fruit, firm structure and a balanced acidity.
