Tasting note

Castello di Amorosa's 2022 Estar should suggest Napa Valley cassis, blackberry and plum, with cedar and dried herbs. Cabernet Sauvignon gives the wine an expectedly rich center, firm tannins shaping the fruit while acidity keeps its texture energetic. Its peak years are 2028 to 2035 within a drinking range that runs through 2042. Dark berry should carry into a lasting finish with savory spice and a gentle earthy note.
