We warmly welcome you to the release of the 2022 vintage of Cardinale Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, awarded 98 points by wine critics Jim Gordon and Jonathan Cristaldi for its remarkable approachability and ageability.

When we founded Cardinale, our vision was to produce a singular Cabernet Sauvignon from the highest-quality vineyards in Napa Valley. Today, Cardinale stands as a rare, multi-appellation blend that is greater than the sum of its parts, culminating in the most distinctive wine of each Napa Valley vintage.

By purchasing the 2022 Cardinale Cabernet Sauvignon, you will become an active allocation member and receive access to future releases. This offer closes on November 15, 2025, or sooner if allocations sell out.

“The 2022 Cardinale delivers leading with boysenberry, dark cherry, Asian spice, and a little clove. There is a lot of energy in this wine. Tannins are supportive and sleek, helping carry the complexity of the blending. Spring Mountain fruit was excellent in 2022, so I chose our Yverdon Vineyard for the largest portion of the blend at 25%. The terroir at 2,100 feet gives us fine tannins, red fruit, and delicate floral notes. The next 22% came from Wurtele Vineyard at a lower elevation on Spring Mountain, bringing in darker fruit notes. Next, Rhyolite Ridge on Diamond Mountain contributed a lush midpalate sweetness. Ultimately, the wine came from 12 vineyards spanning eight distinct Napa appellations, together expressing the unique character of 2022.”
