This wine possesses a beautiful intensity with beautiful color. After 16+ months in bottle, it is abundantly evident that our 2016 Proprietor’s Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon will evolve for many years to come. The color in the glass is inky and dense. The nose itself, also possesses substantial density. There are aromas of cassis, blackberry and kirsch layered in with those of medium toasted French Oak. Even as the wine has been allowed to breath for an extended period, the aromatics remain true and contemplative. The rich flavors are carried by a tightly wound tannin profile. With gentle aeration, the tannin softens and serves as a beautiful counter to the bright acidity that runs throughout. From the farming practices in the vineyard throughout the winemaking, there is no detail too small to pass over. This absolute stunner of a wine is truly a small-batch gem and a perfect special occasion wine.
