“The Reserve is as good as the Napa Cabernet but with a bit more elegance and fresh lift. Leaning more red-fruited with black currant underpinnings and lavish minerality that leaps from the glass. Fashionable velvety tannins are super fine and very well integrated, framed by an undercurrent of lacy acidity. Red currants, sage, bay leaf, and blood orange fruit come into focus through the zesty finish.”
