2022 Comanche Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon, Wheeler Vineyard, San Benito County
90 Points, Wine Enthusiast
A rich, full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon with inviting aromas of dark chocolate and dried berries, spiced with mahogany, incense and charred walnut. The palate unfolds with layers of dark cherry, dried tobacco and wood spice flavors. These aromas and flavors paired with a dry, lingering finish showcase the wine’s depth and structure. Equally enjoyable alongside a hearty meal or sipped on its own.
Comanche Cellars is located on California’s Monterey Peninsula and we take advantage of the wealth of vineyards in our incredible region. We have created long-standing relationships with local vineyard owners to source some of the finest fruit in California.
My name is Michael Simons, and what started as a love affair with wine has turned into a passion for producing small lots of very handcrafted wines from neighboring vineyards. Our tiny (1,800 cases) winery is named after Comanche, my horse when I was ten years old. He was an important part of a young life, and I use his name as a loving tribute to this old friend. These days, I ride a bicycle, and since this love affair with wine turned into a full-blown obsession, finding time for riding anything can be tough. But I still think of Comanche often, and am proud that his name and shoes are on every bottle of my wine. Maybe those horseshoes will bring you some good luck!
Comanche Cellars is on California’s Monterey Peninsula, where we take advantage of the incredible wealth of vineyards that can be found in almost every direction. All throughout the Santa Lucia Highlands, Arroyo Seco, San Antonio Valley and Santa Cruz Mountains AVA’s, there are winegrowers and winemakers producing incredibly beautiful wines that, we think, can and will rival the best the world has to offer. We’re happy to be in the sweet spot right now, as Wine Enthusiast recently named Monterey as one of the Top 5 winegrowing regions worldwide!

22 Comanche Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon
On opening I get flavors of Cab and oak, but fairly light on the oak. The Cab is a little different from some Cabs, with more of a Merlot tone, but not sweet. An unusual wine. But good.
After it’s been open for a while it doesn’t change much, and stays pretty much the same (to my taste) later in the evening and on into the next day.
I know that doesn’t help a potential buyer much. It may be that I’m recovering from a cold and miss some of the finer points.
My wife says it won’t set the world on fire, but is a barely OK wine. It wouldn’t turn her into a teetotaler. But she’s a fairly harsh critic. I think it’s better than that.
