Vintage Character The 2022 Anatomy No. 1 Cabernet Sauvignon from the Napa Valley AVA showcases the region's hallmark depth despite a challenging, warm growing season that yielded highly concentrated fruit. This vintage offers remarkable value, presenting a structured profile that benefits beautifully from decanting to unlock its full potential. Sourced from selected hillside and valley floor vineyards across Napa Valley, the grapes thrive in well-drained volcanic and alluvial soils, where warm daytime temperatures followed by cooling marine breezes preserve vital acidity and balance.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing On the nose, this full-bodied red wine displays intense aromas of ripe blackberry, cassis, and dark cherry, accented by secondary notes of cedar and sweet baking spices. The palate is rich and structured with medium-high, velvety tannins, integrating dark fruit flavors with hints of mocha and graphite on a long, refined finish. Pair this expressive Cabernet Sauvignon with grilled ribeye steak, slow-roasted rosemary lamb chops, or a classic beef Wellington.
