2022 Quivet Cellars
Cabernet Sauvignon Shiverick Reserve
Beckstoffer
Las Piedras
Vineyard
The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Las Piedras Shiverick Reserve is another up-front, ripe, sexy 2022 with plenty to love. Ample red, blue, and black fruits, cedar pencil, and spicy notes all flow to a medium to full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon offering plenty of fruit and mid-palate depth, velvety tannins, and outstanding length.
Blended from four barrels—three Darnajou and one Taransaud—the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard Shiverick Reserve comes across as being a bit herbal, with riper notes of cherries and caramel. It's full-bodied, supple and creamy in feel but appears to lack the richness and drama of the 2021.
