The 2022 Elevage is terrific in this vintage. I imagine it benefits from its lower production overall and a blend that includes Merlot and Petit Verdot, both of which add terrific mid-palate presence and weight.

Aside from the Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2022 Elevage is the only blend in the lineup and checks in as 58% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Petit Verdot that spent 18 months in 90% new French oak. It has a juicy, upfront style in its red and black cherry fruit as well as chocolate, spicy oak, and savory herb-driven aromas and flavors. These carry to a medium-bodied blend that has a charming, forward mouthfeel, a nicely balanced style, a kiss of firmer tannins, and outstanding length. It's a spicy, complex effort that will benefit from just a handful of years in the cellar and then be best drunk by 2032.
