Description
Aromas & Flavors: The 2018 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon opens with aromas of dark chocolate, black cherry, and cassis layered upon notes of star anise and toasted vanilla. On the palate, this wine is bursting with vibrant notes of blackberries and black tea with subtle hints of sage and toasted oak. This bold and well-structured Cabernet Sauvignon exemplifies the classic Rutherford style with finely integrated tannins and a long lingering finish.
