Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

A blend of 91% Cab Sauv, 4% Petite Verdot, 3% Cab Franc & 2% Merlot, deep Ruby with aromas of complex fruit, oak & floral spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry & cherry with currant and cacao adding cedar and espresso notes. Soft tannins with a young edge, long finish, well integrated, nicely balanced, a joy to drink. Will age a long time. Wait! A Wow factor wine!! Outstanding!

Smoke, tobacco, pyrazene, medicinal and herbal characters, tart to fresh currants and cassis on the nose. Great acidity coupled with smooth tannins.

Very delicious. Plum on the nose. Plum on the first sip, then tobacco on the finish. Tannins is very well balanced. A must have again.

Beautiful nose. Dark Cherry and pepper and blackberries. Supple but strong tannins on the finish. Very good.

Much more depth and distinction than last night's non reserve. The Reserve is more extracted , deep dark fruits, black licorice. More body. Very very good.
