Tasting Note
This reserve wine comes from our two finest blocks and six best barrels of the vintage. Made entirely of old vine clone 7, this vineyard is on a fantastic roll, getting better & better with each year. Inky purple blue color, with a nose and fragrant violets, it is loaded with blackberry, sour cherry and cassis. Tart cranberry, tobacco and a hint of red licorice push waves of fruit that pump out flavor and intensity right of out the gate. Framed with a subtle natural acidity, this wine is dark, ripe, yet elegant with nice extraction and intensity. The power of the vintage comingles with a velvet touch of natural winemaking; the counterbalance is a jaw dropping pure driven Cabernet Sauvignon. Enjoy with a nice decant or cellar for five to ten years for all the complexities smooth out and come together.
