Patria 2023 "Les Avoyelles" Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley

100 points - limited                                  
Limited new release of Patria 'Les Avoyelles,' a small-production gem of a Napa Valley Cabernet from Winemaker Tony Biagi of PlumpJack.

100 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "Deep purple-hued, the Patria 2023 Avoyelles Oakville reveals cassis, liquid violets, flowers, and new leather. Full-bodied and incredibly pure on the palate, it shows deep, rich concentration and elegant precision. Based on 55% Cabernet Franc and 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, aged 24 months in 100% new French oak, this profound effort will need 6-8 years of cellaring and keep for two decades.
