Has a good amount of red currant and cherry fruit with milk chocolate tobacco spice nice complexity on the nose. Very smooth and round tannins on the tongue with nice freshness big but still quite balanced only 300 cases approximately of these reserves produced each year

A nice Cab Sauv from Oregon. Was a bit concerned it would be too hot at 14.6%, but the brash red and dark fruit is was well balanced with good acidity.
