Diamonds in Space California Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Vin Chicago: 93 Points

(11/2024) Decadently packed with dark fruits, spices and yummy toasty barrel flavors, the 2022 Diamonds in Space is sourced from four vineyards, all names you'd see on 98-Point wines costing $80+. Carrying a serious structure and supple tannins, it is lush, complex and incredibly delicious. Aged for 18 months in a combination of French and American oak, this full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon pours a visually exciting purple-black color that thoroughly coats the sides of the glass. With a few swirls, this complex wine releases gobs of black and blue fruit along with sweet oak notes of toast, charred wood, and vanilla. Decadent, layered and wonderfully balanced, it offers a voluminous feel, medium-full tannins, and excellent balance. The best part, however, is how great it shows after extensive decanting, unfurling to reveal an even more silky and elegant mouthfeel. It is completely ridiculous to get so much Cabernet goodness at this price. If you're a Cabernet drinker or have friends who are, this 1,200 case production beauty is worthy of jumping all over!
