2022 Erikson & Caradin - Bilateral

Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon

Oakville is celebrated as one of Napa Valley's premier AVAs, known for producing some of the most sought-after Cabernet Sauvignons in the world. This vineyard, located just across the street from the iconic Screaming Eagle, exemplifies the perfect balance of meticulous viticulture, combining old-world techniques with modern innovations. The result is a pristine Cabernet Sauvignon that showcases the very essence of Oakville's terroir.

This vintage opens with rich aromas of black cherry, cassis, and dried herbs, accompanied by hints of violet and graphite. On the palate, layers of dark fruit, cocoa, and espresso unfold, supported by well-structured tannins and a firm backbone of minerality. The finish is long and complex, with lingering notes of cedar and sweet tobacco, underscoring the wine’s elegance and depth.
