Had the pleasure of tasting one of the first pours of the 2022 bottlings at the Occidental property. These wines are obviously quite young right now, but there is already some forest floor notes that add complexity to a wine with bright red fruit with mouth watering acidity and a long, mineral finish. Tannins have nice structure. Hard to give an exact rating until proper drink date, but I would say 95+ if I had to pick. This was among my favorites in the 2022 lineup. Beautiful overall.
