Band of Vintners 2022 Napa Cabernet Sauvignon

Band of Vintners is more than just a wine label—it’s a collaborative project born from a tasting group of Napa insiders who set out to create a Cabernet that overdelivers on quality without the usual sticker shock. Founded in 2014, the group originally included seven friends, including winemakers, sommeliers, and industry veterans. Today, the brand is helmed by winemakers Britt Nichols and Evyn Cameron, alongside Master Sommelier Des Echavarrie. Their shared ethos centers on crafting wines that honor Napa’s legacy while remaining accessible and sustainable. The team sources fruit from top vineyard sites across the valley and takes a minimalist approach in the cellar, letting terroir and vintage character shine through. Winemaker Britt Richards, formerly of Chappellet and Peter Michael, takes the helm for the 2022 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, and delivers a 94pt stunner that you would expect from such a celebrated winemaker and partners with access to some of the Valley's finest fruit.

94pts Wine Enthusiast
The 2022 Band of Vintners Napa Cabernet opens with a vibrant nose of dark fruit—think blackcurrant, blackberry, and boysenberry—layered with red cherry and a touch of cocoa nib. On the palate, it’s plush and mouthcoating, with flavors that weave together ripe plum, mixed berries, and a subtle thread of tobacco and black olive. There’s a floral lift from lavender and dried rose petals, and the oak influence brings warm baking spices like clove, nutmeg, and cinnamon without overwhelming the fruit. The tannins are polished and integrated, giving it structure without austerity, and the acidity keeps everything fresh and food-friendly.
