2022 Altruria Wines Cabernet Sauvignon, California, United States

This vintage of Altruria opens with a captivating nose layered in dark fruit—boysenberry and blackberry—woven with savory hints of tobacco and worn leather. The palate unfolds in spice-laden tones of vanilla bean, clove, and nutmeg, leading into a robust midsection of dark cherries and briary fruit. Silky, velvet-like tannins provide elegant framing, giving the wine both strength and poise. The finish is notably dry, long, and complex, promising enjoyment over the next 5–7 years.
