Vintage 2022

California 2022, The Tale of Two Harvests

With climate variability as the new normal, Napa Valley grape growers aim to be resilient and adaptable. Their preparation and experience paid off in 2022 as growers faced triple digit heat over five days in September quickly followed by rain that brought harvest to a sudden halt. Winemakers are calling the vintage “the tale of two harvests,” making it one of the more unique vintages in recent history...

Written Notes

Defying the intense early-September heat waves that compromised less meticulous sites across Napa, the 2022 Mythicus is a triumph of rigorous vineyard canopy management and shade-cloth engineering. Nearly opaque garnet in color, the nose reveals ripe blackcurrants, dark plum reduction, and dried lavender accented by espresso bean, scorched earth, bitter chocolate, and pencil shavings. On the palate, the wine is broad, luxurious, and opulent, delivering an avalanche of black fruit supported by sweet, refined, and plush tannins that coat the mouth seamlessly. While displaying a warmer, more hedonistic fruit profile than the 2021 or 2023, it retains sufficient mineral drive and structural grip on the back-palate to drink beautifully over two decades.

Deep purple colour. Intensely perfumey and refined nose seduces with plethora of aromas from brambles, and cassis to violety notes combined with bay leaf, dark chocolate and capsicum aromas. Full-boided palate with intense, very focused and dense dark fruitiness and refined tannins. Lingering and promising finish. Superb wine! First time ever I have given such high scores for recently released Mythicvs. Drinks surprsingly well already but will peak in 2032-2038 – JL 98+ (Nov. 2024)
