90+ Cellars "Lot 94" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Vin Chicago: 89 Points

(2/2026) The fine folks at 90+ Cellars are making a feast of California's recent bountiful vintages. In the opressive heat of 2022's torrid harvest they made the almost unimaginable happen: deliver us a rock-solid Napa Cab for less than $20! Leaning into its fun-to-drink, jammy red-fruit profile, this charmer doesn't lack freshness. Notes of green peppercorn, mint, and marjoram join the molten raspberry chocolate cake core, with hickory smoke and an easy to bite-thru layer of light tannin giving needed gravity to its finale. A friendly iteration of Napa, reminscent of the Central Coast's more jovial nature.
