2022 Julien Fayard Martinez Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Magnum
The 2022 Julien Fayard Martinez Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Magnum is a large-format presentation of one of the most coveted single-vineyard bottlings in the Julien Fayard portfolio — a wine of extraordinary provenance and winemaking excellence, now in the 1.5L format that maximizes its aging potential and announces its arrival at any table with unmistakable authority. The Martinez Vineyard, one of Julien Fayard's most intimate and celebrated terroir relationships, consistently delivers Cabernet Sauvignon fruit of exceptional concentration, structural purity, and distinctive aromatic complexity that speaks directly of this exceptional Napa Valley site. The 2022 vintage, among the finest recent years in Napa, produced a Martinez of remarkable depth and ambition: sumptuous aromas of blackcurrant, dark plum, violet, graphite, mocha, and a compelling mineral-earthy thread unique to this vineyard lead to a full-bodied, commanding palate of formidable depth, powerful yet polished tannins, and a finish of extraordinary length and persistence. In the 1.5L magnum format, this wine will develop with extraordinary grace over the coming 15+ years.
