Expert Review - Vintage 2022
Danielle Callegari of the Wine Enthusiast writes 91 Points | Aromas of vanilla, black cherry, fresh coffee and raspberry coulis create an indulgently sweet nose. The palate brings more cherries and raspberries, but also tangier fruit notes of dried cranberry and blood orange. Despite all the serious, dense fruit, there is a marvelous freshness to this wine, making it delightfully approachable.
James Button writes: Most of Sette Cieli's estate is located just outside the Bolgheri DOC zone, but it does own some vines inside. This blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc is aged in barriques for eight months. It's a ripe, taut and grainy red with blackcurrant up front and touches of earth, chocolate and menthol in the background. Drinking 2024 to 2029. - Decanter 92
Antonio Galloni writes: The 2022 Yantra is a tasty, easygoing red to drink now and over the next few years. Crushed flowers, spice and mocha meld into a core of dense red cherry/plum fruit in this mid-weight offering. - Drinking 2024 to 2029. - Vinous 90
