Tasting notes
Opaque ruby. Deep-pitched blueberry and cassis aromas are complemented by suggestions of mocha, pipe tobacco and allspice. Gently chewy and broad on the palate, offering appealingly sweet black and blue fruit flavors that take on a smoky nuance with aeration. Velvety tannins add shape to the long, smooth finish, which strongly echoes the blue fruit and spice notes. 50% new French oak.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve contains 20% Petit Verdot and 3% Merlot. It was made from free-run juice and matured 16 months in 50% new French oak. The nose is deep and savory, offering up layers of grilled meats, blackberries, dark spices, dried flowers and iron. The palate is silky and detailed with savory character and surprisingly fresh acidity, finishing long and spicy.
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is a soft, supple, incredibly sexy Cabernet that brings ample cassis and blue berry fruits as well as some vanilla oak, white flowers, and spice-like aromas and flavors. It will compete with any number of impressive Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignons and is full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a great finish.
