D’Arenberg The High Trellis Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Again, traditional foot treading takes place 2/3^rds  of the way through fermentation, with the fermentation then completed in old French oak barriques and a maturation of twenty months. An opaque maroon hue, the aromas weave through dried herbs, black olives, bay leaves, licorice, chocolate, soy and coffee grinds. The wine opens with plushness and generosity and exhibits excellent extract. There are slick tannins on the finish, which does fade a little, but the wine is still thoroughly enjoyable drinking and should be that and more over the next ten years.
