2022 Dancing Bear Cabernet Sauvignon

Napa Valley

Dancing Bear Ranch represents a more singular expression of our craft, shaped by its mountain vineyard and a careful, hands-on approach. It carries a sense of depth and quiet confidence—an elevated bottle that feels both powerful and grounded, ready to be opened when the moment calls for something exceptional.

The 2022 Dancing Bear Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon is a captivating expression of mountain-grown fruit, with bold, layered aromas of marionberry, black cherry, cedar, and red plum, complemented by hints of toasted coconut, cigar box, vanilla bean, and dried herbs. On the palate, rich red plum and boysenberry flavors unfold with warm spice notes of nutmeg and a subtle touch of dried herbs. Silky yet structured tannins carry the wine to a bold, lingering finish. True to its Howell Mountain origins, this Cabernet showcases impressive structure, deep concentration, and elegant complexity.

Farming for the Future

Milestone evenings, unforgettable gatherings, and moments that stay with you long after they pass. It’s a natural choice for marking something important—something to open, share thoughtfully, and return to over the course of the night.

Nestled in the Vaca Mountain Range, vineyards here sit from 1,100 to 1,900 feet above sea level, escaping the valley’s fog. The regions volcanic ash and iron-rich red soils create nutrient-poor conditions, forcing vines to struggle and produce small, intensely flavored berries. From sun-drenched slopes to varied soils and carefully selected clones, each vineyard block at Dancing Bear Ranch is farmed with intention; to elevate every bottle of this Cabernet Sauvignon.
The 2022 growing season in Napa Valley was marked by mild temperatures and steady ripening, creating ideal conditions for rich flavor development. Ongoing drought naturally controlled vine vigor and yields, leading to concentrated aromas and depth. Warm weather persisted into harvest, allowing Cabernet Sauvignon to reach peak maturity with refined tannins and a beautifully structured profile.
