Production notes

Hand-picked grapes are harvested in the third and fourth weeks of April, before undergoing a 48-hour cold maceration at 50°F/10°C, followed by a 10-day fermentation using selected yeasts between 77° F/25°C and 81°F/27°C, and a further 10-day maceration. 100% malolactic and aged in contact with French oak 6-8 months.

Tasting notes

Displaying aromas of berries and cassis and crisp acidity, this Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is silky with a touch of French elegance and just a slight oak influence.
