Marked by scents of brown sugar and cedar, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve backs those with blackberry and cassis notes. Full-bodied and intense, it's a big, slightly rugged effort that may lack the polish of the single-vineyard wines here, but it delivers ample richness and flavor.

A blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is deep garnet-purple in color, striding confidently out of the glass with classic notes of baked plums, blackberry pie and blackcurrant cordial plus hints of cedar, unsmoked cigars and tilled soil. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated and featuring impressively pure black fruit flavors, the palate delivers a firm texture of ripe, fine-grained tannins, finishing long, layered and with lovely freshness. 1,400 cases were made.

The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve comes from the Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper vineyard, the Kennifick Ranch vineyard and the Stags Leap vineyard and contains splashes of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. It aged for 22 months in 100% new French Sylvain, Taransaud and Darnajou barrels. Very deep garnet-purple colored, it charges out of the gate with energetic boysenberries, kirsch, black cherries and warm cassis scents with hints of potpourri, baking spices and dried lavender. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has loads of open-knit, exuberant black fruit flavors on offer, with a soft texture and lovely freshness, finishing on a spicy note. 1,300 cases produced.
