2022 Julien Fayard Martinez Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
The 2022 Julien Fayard Martinez Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a single-vineyard declaration of terroir, craft, and unwavering ambition from one of Napa Valley's most gifted winemakers. The Martinez Vineyard holds a special place in Julien Fayard's portfolio, a site he has worked intimately and whose particular expression of Napa Valley Cabernet has become one of the defining signatures of his career. The 2022 vintage, blessed with warm, even ripening conditions and exceptional fruit quality, produced a Martinez of striking richness and structural grandeur: aromas of ripe blackcurrant, dark plum, crushed violet, graphite, mocha, and a compelling earthy mineral note that is uniquely this vineyard lead to a full-bodied palate of formidable depth, powerful yet polished tannins, and a finish that goes on and on with layered complexity and precision.
