ANTONIO GALLONI 91 POINTS - "The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is packed with succulent dark cherry/plum fruit, spice, new leather and chocolate. This juicy Cabernet Sauvignon will drink well pretty much right out of the gate. There is a bit of firmness in the tannin, but that's a small quibble for a wine that offers so much enjoyment."
"O'Shaughnessy endured a challenging vintage in 2021. Yields are down 30-40% across the board. “In some places, we just ran out of water,” longtime winemaker Sean Capiaux explained. On a more positive note, the wines turned out beautifully. The 2022s are embryonic at this stage and in need of time. It will be interesting to see how they develop. O'Shaughnessy is among the many estates that are picking earlier in the past. “We used to target 60 days post veraison, but today it is closer to 45,” Capiaux told me."
