The 2004 Reserve Red is 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, and 4% Petit Verdot and is a barrel selection from some of the above wines. Purple-colored, it has an enticing nose of smoke, pencil lead, espresso, leather, black currant and blackberry. Full-bodied with layers of fruit, it has excellent depth and concentration, ripe flavors, and a firmly structured personality. Give it 4-6 years to evolve and drink it through 2030.
