Olive, orange rind, herb and blackberry fruit on the nose, followed by a juicy, savory and full-bodied palate. The tannins are fine-grained and nicely integrated. Drink now or hold.

Fans of lighter-bodied Cabernet Sauvignons with lots of acidity, here's one to consider-especially at $20. The Wild Hills has bouncy boysenberry and lemon citrus aromas to match up with tart blackberry, aged balsamic and meat fat flavors. The wine's tannins are modest and its mouthfeel is as brisk as its acidity.

The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon is understated in the glass, with a whiff of sweet herbs and autumnal spices complementing mentholated blackberries. It's silky-smooth with mineral- laced red and black fruits that are energized by zesty acidity. This finishes with medium length and a licorice tinge, maintaining a lovely inner freshness.
