2022 Brannan Wines Cabernet Sauvignon Calistoga

$94.95
DC93

From the land where Sam Brannan built Calistoga’s legend, this bottling captures the warm, sun-kissed charm of Napa’s northern edge. Ripe mulberries, red cherries, and those first-to-ripen purple plums spill from the glass, joined by candied roses, lavender, cedar, clove, and a splash of blueberry. Bordeaux-esque graphite and hints of bay laurel and mint weave through a luxuriously silky texture, striking that “just right” Goldilocks balance. Bright, old-school Napa soul with modern polish—pure Calistoga character.

A Gold Rush of flavor—don’t let it slip away.

Crafted from 100% dry-farmed Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, this wine is aged for up to 16 months in oak, including 40% new French oak. Remarkably consistent in style when compared to previous vintages, the 2022 release introduces a touch more richness and fruit sweetness on the mid-palate. This is a beautifully approachable Napa Cabernet, showcasing bright blueberry fruit, lilacs, and fine cedar spices. Medium to full-bodied, it has generous, velvety tannins, complemented by notes of graphite, dark cocoa, and pressed flowers on the lengthy finish. Produced by a small winery based in Calistoga and crafted by Seth Cripe, who also has a label called Lola, the vines range from 15 to 45 years old.
