Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
Produced by 8 Chains North Winery · Waterford, Virginia
Tasting notes
Cigar-box tobacco and deep cherry on the nose. Balanced acidity with black cherry on the palate. Smooth tannins surround the tongue and linger on the finish.
Winemaking notes. Fermented with commercial yeast and taken through full malolactic fermentation. Aged 28 months in American oak, 50% new and 50% neutral. Manually filtered prior to bottling.
Vintage notes. The 2022 season delivered beautifully balanced fruit, with steady early growth and a warm, sun-filled summer that encouraged depth and concentration. Ample ripeness, vibrant aromatics, and naturally structured tannins defined the harvest. Tranquility Vineyard sits at about 550 feet at the top of a hill, which gives the vines extra morning and evening sunlight through the growing season.
