Arrow and Branch Right Bank Blend 2022

97 Points                                                                          Limited new release of one of Napa Valley's highest-scoring Cabernet blends from Arrow & Branch. Their bottles are a direct nod to the First Growth properties in Bordeaux. 96 Poins Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2022 Arrow & Branch Right Bank Blend Napa Valley is gorgeous, offering up a complex bouquet of black cherries, cedar pencil, dried flowers, and chocolate. Medium to full-bodied, this beauty hits the palate with a round, lush, and downright sexy profile that has no hard edges yet still brings impressive density and depth. With ripe, integrated tannins as well as outstanding length, this blend of 63% Cabernet Franc, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 22% Merlot, aged 22 months in French oak (60% new) is going to drink nicely over the coming 15+ years.. It's another absolutely sensational wine from Williams that offers pleasure today yet has the class and depth to evolve for 15-20 years." Arrow & Branch was founded by Steve and Seanne Contursi. Both have enjoyed Bordeaux wines since the 1980’s and have collected wine from a number of premium Bordeaux based, primarily Right Bank producers.  One of the rising stars of Napa Valley winemaking, winemaker Jennifer Williams was previously with Araujo & Spotswoode.
