While the 2013 was brought up all in French oak, the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve was raised mostly in French oak, with a small portion of American oak. It’s another high quality effort from this estate that has a modern, rich, textured style as well as beautiful notes of black currants, spice-box, graphite and chocolate. Medium to full-bodied, fresh and nicely balanced, it will drink well for at least a decade.
