Wine Enthusiast Review Rated 92 Glittering ruby in the glass, this Cabernet Sauvignon combines black cherries, dripping ripe blackberries and sweet mocha with a full-bodied, lush mouthfeel. Palate coating tannins carry into a lengthy, graphite finish. Goldschmidt “Hilary” Charming Creek Vineyard Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 Polished, powerful, and classically Oakville. The 2022 “Hilary” Cabernet Sauvignon from Goldschmidt Vineyards showcases the depth and elegance of Charming Creek Vineyard, a prime Oakville site known for producing richly textured, dark-fruited Cabernet.
