WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
This wine has a complex nose with notes of plum, blueberry, tobacco, India ink, nutmeg, clove, and cedar. On the mid-palate, there are flavors of plum, cherry, licorice, tobacco, blueberry, and blackberry. It has very soft, fine-grain tannins that lead to a long finish of black licorice, plum, and cherry.
TASTING NOTES:
Aromas of blood plums, graphite, dried herbs, and bitter chocolate. The palate is full-bodied with softly integrated tannins and balanced acidity, giving flavors of blackberries, cedar, potpourri, and dried herbs. Made from 47% cabernet sauvignon, 40% cabernet franc, 11% merlot and 2% petit verdot.
-James Suckling, 93 pts.
Based on 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Cabernet Franc, 11% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot, the 2022 Arise Proprietary Red reveals blackberry, cassis, graphite, and leather nuances, with a kiss of chocolate adding complexity. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has ripe tannins and a juicy, lively style that will drink nicely over the coming 10-15 years.
-Jeb Dunnuck, 91 pts.
A blend of 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Cabernet Franc, 11% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot, the 2022 Arise Proprietary Red boasts attractive violet and herbal notes that add hints of berry tea and ripe cherries. It's medium to full-bodied, supple, ripe and fleshy in the mouth, with understated tannins on the mouthwatering finish. It's a super value to drink over the next decade.
-Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 91 pts.
The 2022 Arise is a soft, plummy red to drink now and over the next few years. The blend of 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Cabernet Franc, 11% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot works quite well. Pretty floral top notes add brightness on the finish.
