2022 Patria Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville Ranch Vineyard, Oakville, Napa Valley

San Francisco Wine Panel Score 97+ Points

Harmonious and quite fruit-forward, the nose of this juicy Oakville Cab melds aromas of black and red currant, dark cherry, purple plum compote, chocolate, cedar, toffee and coffee bean scents into a rich melange. The flavors seem a bit more youthful and red fruit dominant on the palate, where polished grip, seductive zest and focused fruit fan-out with airing to linger impressively. Certainly two or three years or more from its full expression, it is already a fine dinner companion. 200 cases produced.

Decanter Magazine 93 Points

Sourced from the Oakville Ranch vineyard, perched above Dalla Valle and Peter Michael’s Oakville Estate, this wine delivers the power and intensity expected from this site. Bright herbal aromatics lift a well-balanced acid profile, complementing rich red berry fruit, exotic brown spices, and a tapestry of graphite-driven minerality. Succulent dark berry fruit is elegantly framed by gentle, well-integrated tannins, creating a refined yet expressive wine. Tony Biagi founded Patria in 2013 out of a love for Cabernet Sauvignon, Oakville Ranch fruit, and organic farming. Drinking Window: 2025 - 2035. Jonathan Cristaldi 19 Feb 2025
