Ad Ripa, Cabernet Sauvingon, Happy Canyon, Santa Barbara, California 2022

"Sourced predominately from younger vines at China Blue Vineyard, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is poised, understated and alluring on the nose. It displays clean, harmonious, dark-fruited flavors lifted by subtle herbal accents and gravelly undertones, introducing a medium-bodied yet elegant palate with admirable clarity and focus. The finish is beautifully delineated and balanced, showing the poise that Bordeaux varieties can achieve in Happy Canyon when approached with a deft touch." - Wine Advocate
