2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve

A cellar selection based on 83% Cabernet Sauvignon and 17% Petit Verdot, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve reveals a dense purple hue as well as gorgeous notes of crème de cassis, blueberries, scorched earth, violets, and sappy spring flowers. With full-bodied richness, a layered, multi-dimensional texture, and fabulous tannins, this rock star of a Cabernet will benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age and keep for 20-30 years.
