“Blending 51% Merlot and 49% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2022 Right Bank Blend Old Stake 1901 is herbaceous in bay leaf and dried herb, the tannins soft and lengthy. The property does indeed have vines dating back to the original plantings of 1901 at high-elevation in volcanic soils. The full-bodied midpalate of the wine is chocolaty and rich in red brambly fruit, with enduring richness. Drink through 2030.”
