Fortunate Son Description
The 2022 Dreamer opens with ethereal aromas of toasted almond, plum, and ripe fig, all accented by a mineral streak of crushed granite. A delicious undercurrent of dark chocolate adds richness and intrigue to the nose, while hints of dried herbs and leather contribute a savory dimension. On the palate, lush, finely woven tannins wrap around a core of ripe red fruit, all lifted by a bright and refreshing acidity that hones all of its soft edges. The finish lingers well into the night, not so much a conclusion, but an invitation to wander deeper into one’s own dreamscape.
James Suckling: 97 Points
Blackberry and black cherry with some lead pencil. Medium to full body with round and juicy tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Savory and flavorful. Smoky. Just a hint of thyme and sage. Lovely velvety tannins. Drink now or hold.
Jeb Dunnuck: 93 Points
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.
