95 Bonfort’s Wine & Spirits Journal

This 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon from Andrew Cotti is a pristine and elegant reflection of St. Helena - refined, expressive, and deeply pure in character. The bouquet lifts gracefully from the glass with vibrant red raspberry and dark cherry, joined by fresh fig, a whisper of clove, and a delicate black-olive savoriness. A measured thread of vanilla spice adds warmth and dimension without intruding on the wine’s natural freshness. On the palate, the wine is poised and beautifully balanced, delivering a seamless interplay of ripe red and dark fruit. The mid-palate expands with fig, subtle spice, and polished layers that glide across a foundation of silky yet assertive tannins - structured, refined, and effortlessly approachable. The finish is long and composed, echoing cherry, warm spice, and a gentle touch of mocha. Meticulously shaped and elegantly layered, this Cabernet offers immediate luxury and the promise of graceful evolution in the cellar.
