Palate
Deep garnet-purple, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve has a cedar, toast and dried mint core over notes of blackcurrant cordial, baked blackberries and black cherry preserves with hints of dried beef and Indian spices.
Growing Conditions
The 2015 growing season in Napa Valley started out with unseasonably warm temperatures in the late winter and early spring. This resulted in an early bud break and bloom… The harvest was one of the earliest on record in Napa Valley, beginning on July 22 with the picking of grapes for sparkling wine, and concluding for most all vintners and growers in the valley by mid-October. While ongoing drought was of great concern to farmers around California, Napa Valley received 75% of normal rainfall for the water.
