Cabernet Sauvignon
Chaberton Estate Winery
2022 Cabernet Sauvignon
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia VQA
Structured and expressive, the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon reflects the depth and character of Okanagan Valley fruit. Carefully matured in a combination of French and American oak, this wine develops layered dark fruit flavours balanced by refined structure and complexity.
Extended barrel aging has softened the tannins while integrating subtle oak influence, resulting in a wine that is both powerful and polished. A small portion of complementary varietals adds additional depth and aromatic nuance while allowing Cabernet Sauvignon to remain the dominant voice of the blend.
