Nose

A very deep, darkly colored wine, our ’96 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits exotic aromas of spices and sweet black fruits of cassis and blackberries.

Palate

The wines loaded with gobs of wood influenced vanillin. A big, rich, chewy wine with the kind of density that can only be accomplished with very low yields. This is a full-bodied, powerful wine with a satisfying, fruity finish. A great aging future awaits this wine.

Aging

Aged in a mix of new Hungarian, American, Oregon, and French oak barrels.
