The 2022 Phinny Hill Cabernet Sauvignon may well be the most compelling we’ve bottled to date — a wine that captures the clarity, freshness, and site expression that define this vineyard at its best. Dense, luminous ruby in the glass, it opens aromatically with dried blackcurrant, blackberry, and dark cherry, overlaid by hints of fresh sage, leather, and warm spices. The palate brings the power and breadth you expect from Phinny Hill, but tempered by the finesse of the vintage — ripe dark fruits and cassis carried smoothly by vibrant acidity and framed by fine-grained, persistent tannins. Subtle notes of cedar, cocoa powder, and crushed rock emerge on the midpalate and linger through a prolonged, mouthwatering finish. This is a Cabernet that balances richness and restraint beautifully — a worthy standard-bearer for Phinny Hill and a wine we can’t wait to watch evolve over the next decade or more.
