The 2022 Ackerman Cabernet Sauvignon from Coombsville is a powerful and muscular wine with mulberry, cassis, black olive, and black liquorice aromatics. These notes transform beautifully on the medium-to full-bodied palate, which is finely delineated. The firm, fine tannins frame a deeply penetrating core of red berry fruit and spices, complemented by the classic cool Coombsville wild herb character and a lengthy finish of graphite and loamy earth. A truly lovely effort in 2022.
