The Family Reserve status is granted only to vineyards of distinction. The fruit stands out the moment it arrives at the winery. Together winemaker and winegrower strive to further develop what only nature can provide. The grapes for the vintage were chosen from the Whaler Vineyard and the Largo Ridge Vineyard. These vineyards are both located in the hillsides off the eastern bank of the Russian River between Hopland and Ukiah. Produced from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and aged 24 months in French oak barrels. Very limited in production with only 450 cases produced.
Tasting notes
The wine has a beautiful black cherry character with distinct aromas and flavors of cassis, cocoa, elegant cigar box & beautiful dark fruits. This full-bodied and balanced wine has a richly woven texture and a lingering finish that displays evolving dark berry, vanilla and baking spice flavors. Pair with your favorite grilled steak, pan seared duck breast or a delicious Portobello Burger.
