Audere (Latin): To Dare! To Venture! Audere dares the senses to experience the rich harmony between boldness and elegance.
The 2022 Audere Red Blend commands attention, balancing power, elegance, and a hint of daring charm.This vintage unveils a heightened sophistication — an opulent composition of 31% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, 22% Petit Verdot, 15% Cabernet Franc, and 8% Malbec — masterfully woven into just 328 cases for those who seek the extraordinary. Aged 23 months in 90% new French and Hungarian oak, the 2022 Audere displays a sumptuous architecture: satin-like tannins, profound extraction, and a densely layered palate built for those who appreciate power wrapped in polish. Sourced from elite Napa vineyard sites (our Rockwell Ridge estate at the top of Crystal Springs, Coombsville, Atlas Peak, and Silverado Bench), it unfolds gracefully with notes of dark cherry liqueur, black currants, and fresh violets before settling into a lavish mocha crème brûlée finish. And for a touch of intrigue — the label glows in the dark once again. Experience world-class Napa craftsmanship at an exceptional value — the 2022 Audere Red Blend delivers Napa Valley luxury without compromise.

“...the 2022 Audere Red Blend is seductive with fleshy, more expressive, dark red and black fruited character. Juicy, ripe and complex, the wine…is full-bodied, with a beautiful, round, rich complexity that over-delivers for the price. This one is a no-brainer. Buy it!” — Anthony Mueller
“The 2022 Audere…opens to an inviting aromatic profile which reveals fresh black cherries and blueberries, alongside a touch of warm spices, mocha, sage and hints of toasted oak. On the palate it unfolds with deep concentration, offering a full-bodied, plush texture that feels almost silky, gliding effortlessly to a long, refined finish. This is both decadent and elegant, balanced by a sense of restraint and finesse. Ready to enjoy now, it also has the structure to evolve beautifully over the next decade. An outstanding value in this vintage from Hertelendy.” — International Wine Report, 94 Points
