Year in and year out the very best Cabernet Sauvignon comes from the best block of our estate vineyard surrounding the winery. The block is planted on an ancient riverbed so the soils are more gravelly and well drained, which results in very deep, rich fruit flavors. The entire vineyard is fabulous, but we like to show off this particular block by bottling a portion separately as our Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. The oak is 90% new French and 10% new American, all barrel fermented and barrel aged for 22 months. The wine is then bottled aged for 2 years to allow for optimal fruit and oak integration.
