Score 96/100 · Drink 2025-2040, Jeb Dunnuck, Mar 2025

Gorgeous aromatics of red, blue, and black fruits and flowers emerge from the 2022 Cabernet Franc Sleeping Lady Vineyard. Full-bodied on the palate, it shows remarkable purity, fine tannins, and integrated acidity. This beautiful, elegant, and layered wine will drink nicely for 12-15 years.

Sourced from this Bettinelli site in southern Yountville, the 2022 Cabernet Franc Sleeping Lady Vineyard is a bit light at the rim, but it exhibits seductive aromas of strawberries, redcurrants and soft florals. It's medium to full-bodied, silky and softly dusty in feel, with a long, elegant finish. It's not a hugely concentrated blockbuster but a balanced, harmonious effort that should drink well for more than a decade.
