tasting note

harvested by-hand on september 13 and 27 from grapes grown in our two saint helena vineyards, the 2022 barbour cabernet sauvignon is an elegant wine packed with juicy red and black fruits.  sweet, dusty barrel notes and spices add intrigue to the aromas. celia's characteristic silky, soft tannins combine with a fruity core that endures from approach through to an extended finish. In its youth, please enjoy 2022 barbour cabernet sauvignon following a brief decant.  it will continue to evolve for 20 years.

 
technical note

the fruit was destemmed and sorted, fermented on its skins for approximately three weeks prior to a gentle pressing and aged for 22 months in 65% new french oak.  it was bottled without fining or filtration in july, 2024.
