Winemakers Note
This Reserve wine consists of Cabernet Sauvignon (96%) blended with Merlot (2%) and Cabernet Franc (2%). Individual lots of each varietal were aged separately for three years in small, 100% French oak barrels (44% new) from select coopers. The wine spent an additional year in the bottle before release.
