The 2022 Goldschmidt Vineyards Game Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon is a deep ruby color and opens with inviting aromas of sandalwood, fragrant spices, and a hint of dark fruit. On the palate, it delivers rich flavors of ripe blackberries and subtle oak accents, supported by fine tannins and a lively, lingering finish.

(Tasted: October 26, 2025, San Francisco, CA) From a three-acre parcel of vines planted in 1989, Goldschmidt's 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Game Ranch spent 17 months in 85% new French oak, lending this full-bodied wine a plush veneer of cedar and vanilla, even a touch of toasted coconut. The underlying fruit is more cherries and cranberries, plus undertones of dusty earth, creating an attractive tension between fruity and savory components. Like the other Goldschmidt offerings in this report, it's gently extracted and only modestly tannic, finishing mouthwatering and refreshing.
