Our 2023 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is full-bodied and expansive. On the nose, cedar, cassis, and allspice create an intriguing medley. Leather and black plum jam flavors flow beneath hints of cocoa and warm caramel. The finish is persistent and satisfying.

The 2023 vintage was an overall cooler year with a wet winter including a heavy dusting of snow in vineyards late February. The year progressed with a cold spring, delaying bloom and a cooler than usual summer resulting in a later vintage, the latest we have experienced in the past two decades. These growing conditions produced wines with a brighter fruit profile and added complexity at slightly lower alcohols. The youthful character of the 2023 vintage indicates that these wines will hold exceptional aging potential.
