Description
Four Flags, a single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, offers an expressive nose of blackberries, cedar, and a hint of violet. The palate is a rich tapestry of cassis, dark chocolate, and a touch of clove. Refined tannins and a long, luxurious finish underscore its pedigree and potential for graceful aging.
Critic Ratings
Jeb Dunnuck Review – Rated 94:
A blend of four vineyard sites, Upchurch, Grand Ciel, Klipsun, and Ciel du Cheval, the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Four Flags is 100% varietal and given 20 months in French oak barrel, 76% new. Ripe, fleshy, and full-bodied, it derives richness from black and red berry fruit while uncovering an inherent savory earthiness etched in pencil lead and gravel. This will age well another 10-12 years.
James Suckling Review – Rated 93:
This composed and balanced red shows blackcurrants, plums, sage and bay leaves on the nose. It’s full-bodied and fruit-forward, with fine, polished tannins. A blend of fruit from Grand Ciel, Ciel du Cheval, Upchurch and Klipsun vineyards. Excellent drinkability already, but better from 2027.
