2023 Edict 'Collinetta' Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville
100pt winemaker Julian Fayard has created another must have! From the sensational 2023 vintage - “As perfect as any Napa vintage in living memory”- Karen MacNeil on the 2023 growing season, and using prime Oakville fruit. Blackberry, black cherry, with notes of sagebrush and tobacco. This is a rich and full bodied wine that has a long warm finish with plenty of firm tannins adding structure and power. Definitely a wine to give a good decant.
Decanter
The 2023 Edict Collinetta Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon is distinctly Oakville in its aromatics, opening with blackberry, black cherry and sagebrush, all building towards notes of tobacco, scorched earth and cedarwood. Rich and full-bodied, velvety fruit meets firm tannins as the wine unfolds, revealing additional layers of cassis and Asian spices, finishing with warm, spicy, smoked paprika notes and a sense of tannic tension and power. Best enjoyed after a good decant.
