The 2022 AXR Estate Cabernet Sauvignon from V. Madrone Vineyard, at the base of Spring Mountain, was 100% barrel-fermented and aged for 24 months in 80% new French oak. This vintage achieves a magical balance of dense dark cherry fruit and bright herbal spices, alongside high-toned sweet paprika, rose petals, sage, and capsicum. There is something beautifully light and bright about this wine, like rays of sunshine filtering through redwood trees, with musky, deep forest notes complementing its energy, tension, and balance. In this vintage, the wine is incredibly precise, with superfine tannins and an impressive lightness, standing head and shoulders above the rest as a wine of the vintage. Because forests surround the site, the microclimate created helped mitigate the impacts of the 2022 heat spell.
