The 2022 Goldschmidt Vineyard, "Yoeman" Cabernet Sauvignon, Alexander Valley was a Merchant's Pick
The Other Goldschmidt Worth Every Penny
April 22, 2026
If you’ve enjoyed Goldschmidt Game Ranch Cabernet, you already know how well this producer delivers classic Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon. But it was Goldschmidt's Yoeman Cabernet Sauvignon from the Alexander Valley that recently made us stop in our tracks.
The Goldschmidt “Yoeman” Vineyard is Alexander Valley at its finest. The terroir does the talking: lush fruit, softer edges, and that signature Alexander Valley charm. The Yoeman Cab shows silky, chewy tannins, ripe dark cherry, and a touch of sweet tobacco leaf—rich, balanced, and ready to go.
If you’re ever at a steakhouse and want a red that works from the first bite to the last, look no further. Think salted butter and warm onion bread to start. This is the kind of Cabernet that carries you effortlessly all the way through a porterhouse for two.
It’s been a standout for years—one of our best-selling Alexander Valley Cabernets for those who want depth and polish without the more intense structure.
96 pts, Tasting Panel: “This is saturated juice, with concentrated raspberry, cassis and chocolate aromas on the nose. There’s a pleasurable warmth to the palate, with berry and caramel flavors plus tons of acid paired with velvety tannin for long-term aging.”
Absolutely worth your attention.
