Andrew Januik 2023 Doppelganger Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2023 Doppelgänger lives up to its name through and through—sourced the from the remarkable block 98 out of Andrew’s Vineyard, this wine of dual identities manages to be both powerhouse-intense and silk-sheet refined. It opens with a brooding, dark fruit profile: think sun-ripened blueberries, brambly black raspberries, and the slightly tart snap of plum skin.

As it breathes, the complexity deepens, revealing nuanced "savory-meets-soil" notes of dried Mediterranean herbs, crushed minerals, and a floral hit of crushed violets. The mouthfeel is the real showstopper here—plush, velvet-clothed tannins and a seamless, everlasting finish that stays with you long after the glass is empty. A beautifully composed architectural feat of a wine — a study in contrast and grace.
