T. Edward Wines 'Crosby' Cabernet Sauvignon, California

Dark plum and cocoa rise immediately from the glass, followed by a subtle thread of dried fruit and polished oak. The 2022 Crosby Cabernet Sauvignon was crafted as part of the Crosby house label by T. Edward, designed to deliver varietally precise, vintage-authentic wines at an accessible price point. Sourced with Paso Robles fruit at its core and built from select declassified lots originally destined for higher-tier bottlings, it reflects a philosophy rooted in quality, integrity, and long-term stewardship of classic varieties.

Sensory Description:

The 2022 vintage presents a generous yet balanced expression of Central Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Aromas of cocoa powder, dried black cherry, and subtle toasted oak lead into a palate that is unexpectedly fresh and composed. Dark plum and blackberry notes unfold with supple tannins and a gentle lift of acidity that keeps the wine lively. A restrained touch of new French oak lends a soft kiss of vanilla and structure without overpowering the fruit. The result is a Cabernet that honors California’s warm-climate ripeness while maintaining clarity, approachability, and varietal correctness.
