It’s no exaggeration to say that in 2022, the vast majority of wines I sampled – and many who I drank and loved – have been Napa Cabernets.
Wanting again over my notes in the course of the months compiling the 2019 Napa Cabernet classic report, I spent precious time tasting with a number of of Napa’s high winemaking abilities.
I frolicked with Jean Hoefliger, Nigel Kinsman, Thomas Rivers Brown, Atelier Melka’s Maayan Koschitzky, guide winemaker Julien Fayard, Harlan’s Cory Empting and Bob Levy, simply to call a number of.
Scroll all the way down to see tasting notes and scores for Jonathan’s high high-quality wines of 2022
My high wines from that report are out on the earth.
