Pollak Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 Review
Margo and David Pollak made a name for themselves in the Carneros AVA of Napa Valley, but saw a challenge in Virginia and made it their home. Making wine from this grape in the Commonwealth comes with its hardships and it seems the Pollaks are up to the challenge. This wine shows the leaner side of Cab, with a subtle nose of wild berries, pepper, and spice. The palate has a medium weight and is well-balanced with a good core of fruit and soft tannic edge.
