Clif Family Winery Croquet Vineyard Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain

California

Howell Mountain

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2022 Croquet Vineyard Estate Cabernet Sauvignon rolls out with ready to go creme de cassis and plum preserves notes, followed by nuances of cedar chest, dark chocolate, and lilacs with a waft of menthol. The full-bodied palate is dense with oak-laced black fruit preserves flavors and chewy tannins with just enough freshness, finishing a touch rugged.

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2021 Croquet Vineyard Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is a little reduced and broody to start, needing patient swirling to coax out notes of creme de cassis, plum preserves, and tar leading to wafts of violets and fertile loam. The full-bodied palate is densely packed with rich, ripe black fruits, framed by firm grainy tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and earthy.
