Lexington Cabernet Sauvignon Gist Ranch Santa Cruz Mountains 2022

The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Gist Ranch introduces itself with an herbal, lifted yet deep bouquet of turned earth, black fruit and pipe tobacco aromas, followed by an immensely rich, enveloping palate that remains impressively nimble. It culminates in an expansive, searingly intense finish propelled by ample tannins and focused acidity. As with the entire Lexington Wine Co. range, this should benefit substantially from further integration and congealing in the cellar.
