Reserve Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
Dark ruby with blueberries, black currant, dark cherry, oak, and smoke. Tannins in control, smooth with a long finish. Great with our Ribeyes and Meat Church Cowboy butter! Very Nice!

Amici Cellars — Reserve Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 — Napa Valley, California. United States 🇺🇸
Overview:
A standout Reserve expression of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon crafted predominantly from Cabernet Sauvignon under the expert hand of winemaker Tony Biaggi. The 2022 vintage delivers a masterful balance of elegance and power, combining layered concentration, precision structure, and long-term aging pedigree that positions it as a benchmark for modern Napa Cabernet.
Aromas & Flavors:
Black cherry, blueberry, cassis, spearmint, cocoa, coffee, violet, subtle vanilla, and refined oak spice.
Mouthfeel:
Full-bodied and multi-layered with vibrant acidity, polished tannins, and excellent structural tension. Ripe blackberry, dark chocolate, and baking spice flow seamlessly into a long, resonant finish built for extended cellaring.
Food Pairings:
Dry-aged steak, lamb rack, short ribs, porcini-driven dishes, truffle pasta, aged hard cheeses.
Personal Pick:
I revisited this bottle again in December 2025 and it absolutely confirmed its trajectory, still youthful, tightly composed, and clearly built to age beautifully. This is a wine I’d confidently cellar for 15+ years without hesitation. Simply lovely!
Verdict:
A refined yet powerful Reserve Cabernet delivering depth, precision, and longevity. A serious collector-worthy Napa wine that continues to impress with consistency and evolution.
🍷 Did You Know?:
Winemaker Tony Biaggi is widely respected in Napa for crafting structured, age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignon with polished tannins and precise balance, a signature clearly reflected in Amici’s Reserve bottlings.

Good wine. Still very young. Much better than I expected but for the price I’m not sure I will buy again
