Tasting Notes
In the glass, the 2022 Ultraviolet Cabernet Sauvignon pours a deep garnet-purple hue. Aromas of blackcurrant, ripe blackberry, and cassis rise with hints of cocoa, violet, and a whisper of cedar spice. On the palate, lush black cherry and plum are framed by smooth, velvety tannins and balanced acidity. Notes of mocha and subtle oak carry through to a lingering, polished finish. This Cabernet captures California’s sunny richness while maintaining freshness and approachability.
