The 2013 (**+) was released on November 12, 2016 at $35.95. TONY ASPLER / 89-points - Cedary, blackcurrant with forward vanilla oak aromas; medium to full-bodied, dry, juicy blackcurrant flavour with a firm tannic finish. CSPC 678615

TASTING NOTE: The outstanding 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Grand Reserve is another Sonoma bottling (32,886 cases). It is 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest the usual suspects in the Bordeaux grape variety category. Dense ruby/purple, with a big, sweet kiss of crème de cassis, licorice, graphite and new wood, the wine is full-bodied, dense, rich, nicely textured and quite long. This wine will actually age nicely for a decade or more. Drink Date: 2016-2026. Score - 90 (Robert Parker Jr., robertparker.com, Oct. 28, 2016) Price $ 39.95
Bottle Size 750 mL
Tasting Date vintages release - May 26, 2018
Cases bought 223 (12 bottles per case)
