The dense deep purple color hints at the intensity in this wine. Aromas of sweet vanilla and pie spice layered over black cherries dominate the nose, accompanied by cassis, red plum and a savory touch of sarsaparilla root. The round, rich entry builds quickly to a full structured mouthfeel with consistent acidity. There is a clean, elegant progression of ripe black cherry, black currant, and juicy dark plum, finishing with clove and vanilla, a hint of marzipan and a trickle of cherry juice. The big structure of this wine should have it drinking well into 2040 or beyond.
A well-marbled rib-eye simply seasoned and grilled over a wood fire should be a near-perfect companion for this big red wine. If meat isn't for you, this wine will also pair beautifully with a rich wild mushroom risotto.

- v92-94
The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve, tasted from barrel, is rich, sumptuous and wonderfully expressive. Radiant red berry fruit, spice, licorice and mint all speak at full volume in a beautifully resonant, expressive Cabernet that is loaded with class.
Wine Spectator
- ws93
Features overt cherry, plum and raspberry fruit flavors, gilded with anise and mesquite hints. Maintains good energy thanks to fresh acidity through the finish, revealing a long echo of savory and iron. Inviting now, but suitable for cellaring. Best from 2021 through 2033. 2,400 cases made.
