Tasting Notes
A deep garnet color in the glass, the 2022 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon opens with focused aromas of cassis, dark cherry and baking spices, layered with subtle notes of cedar, spice, and cocoa nibs from the French oak. The palate is structured and deliberate, framed by firm, polished tannins and vibrant natural acidity that defines the 2022 vintage. Flavors of black currant, black berry, dark chocolate mingle with toasty barrel spice, anise, and mineral undertones. The balance between richness and freshness gives this wine both immediate appeal and the structure to evolve beautifully over time. Built for graceful aging.
