Marine Layer Moon Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 Review

Marine Layer sources the grapes for this distinct Cab from the Sylvia Drive Vineyard in Sonoma’s Moon Mountain District. The densely packed rows are planted on soils layered with volcanic rock and basalt, leading to a great depth of flavor while retaining acidity. And the best part is you can sense all of this in the wine: Concentrated notes of blackberries, raspberries, fennel, and roasted herbs pop on the nose. The palate has a soft, liqueur-like texture with hints of vanilla and clove and a supportive tannic frame.
