Case of Davis Family Vineyard 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon

The Davis family cabernet sauvignon vineyard was planted in Los Altos Hills approximately 25 years ago as a way to reduce water usage as well as indulge in a love of wine. Only juvenile vines need water, but once mature, winter and spring rains suffice for all water needs. We planted cabernet sauvignon because it flourishes in this area better than other varietals. We have many neighbors who planted other grapes, like chardonnay and merlot, but those do not do well with the bugs that all the oak trees in Los Altos Hills attract. Originally the grapes were sold into a mix of various grapes, but in 2016 we decided to bottle our grapes exclusively. Coastal Range Vineyards manages the vineyard and also makes the wine. The vineyard produces anywhere from 30 to 36 cases of wine a year. The 2022 vintage came after a massive heat wave before the grapes were ready to be picked and then the weather turned cold and they were on the vines for longer than usual. The 2022 vintage does not disappoint! It is drinkable now after letting it open for a half hour. It is a classic young cab and can be enjoyed now or aged to be enjoyed in a few years.
