Fortunate Son 'The Dreamer', Napa Valley, USA 2022

"The Dreamer" 2022 is a luxurious, small-production Napa Valley red that showcases the opulent, polished style for which the estate is known. Rich and deeply layered, the wine offers aromas of ripe blackberry, black cherry, cassis, blueberry, dark chocolate, violet, and warm spice, followed by a full-bodied palate with plush fruit, velvety tannins, and a long, seamless finish. The 2022 vintage delivers impressive concentration and depth while maintaining enough freshness to keep the wine balanced. A compelling choice for collectors of high-end, cult-style Napa Cabernet and a natural pairing for prime steak, braised short ribs, or a decadent dinner.

"Ruby/plum-hued and semi-opaque, the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon The Dreamer offers a beautiful, upfront perfume of red plums, black raspberries, toasted spices, sweet tobacco, and a beautiful floral character. Based on 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, puncheon fermented, and aged 32 months in 100% new French oak, it's medium-bodied, with a pure, graceful, layered mouthfeel, sweet, polished tannins, and outstanding length. It's an incredibly successful, pure, graceful effort that will offer loads of pleasure over the coming 10-12 years, if not longer." Jeb Dunnuck 93
