The 2022 Spike Wine Cabernet Sauvignon is a deep, ruby purple color that boasts from the glass with an abundance of dark ripe fruits, warm baked cherry pie, cinnamon crumble, black currants, vanilla and mocha. Layers of dark chocolate, espresso and spice are beautifully integrated. The wine’s supple tannins are plush and velvety on the palate, adding to a rich and textured mouthfeel. This Cabernet showcases a brilliant vein of freshness, amazing structure and culminates with an elegant long-lasting finish.

90 POINTS – THE TASTING PANEL

This Cab commemorates Spike, a loyal canine who inspired his owner during hard times. Fruit forward and ultra ripe, with a flash flood of brandied cherries. Sweet tobacco and Mediterranean herbs are sprinkled with white pepper, dousing the palate with a juicy array of red licorice and berries on the finish.
