A deep ruby in the glass, the 2021 Reserve showcases richly concentrated black cherry, blackberries and crushed cloves. Salted licorice and sage leaves add another level of complexity and the fruit is complimented by persistent acidity and velvety tannins. Oak use is smart and will allow the wine to age gracefully.
