Patria 2022 Oakville Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley

98 Points - new release                              
Limited new release of a small-production gem of a Cabernet from Patria and winemaker Toni Biagi. Limited.

95 Points VINOUS: "The Patria 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville Ranch is, as always, a bit riper than the Allen Price. Here, the later ripening of this site was actually a benefit, as this fruit weathered the intense heat pretty well. Dark cherry, spice, leather, licorice, graphite and dried herbs all take shape with a bit of aeration. Grape/Blend: 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Petit Verdot, 9% Cabernet Franc."- Antonio Galloni

94 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "Mostly clone 7 from this great site on the east side of Oakville, the deep ruby-hued Patria 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville Ranch offers a rock-solid bouquet of red and black fruits, spicy herbs, chocolate, and sappy flowers. It's medium to full-bodied, has a pure, elegant mouthfeel, fine tannins, the vintage's ripe, expressive style, and outstanding length. This ethereal, perfumed, complex 2022 will drink nicely over the coming 10-15 years."

Patria is one of the newest cult wines we've discovered in Napa Valley. Between the pedigree behind the wine and the quality of what is in the bottle, this production is poised to be on the radar of collectors and connoisseurs alike. Anthony (Tony) Biagi, former Winemaker of Plumpjack wines and still consultant at Cade Winery, is the mastermind behind Patria. Bringing years of experience to the table, Tony crafts these rich, dense and chewy style of Cabernet Sauvignon that we've come to love over the years and the 2014 is another excellent vintage.
