VINTAGE RESERVE - Santa Ynez Valley

VINTAGE RESERVE - Santa Ynez Valley Wine Details
Price:

Description: Our limited-production 2001 Vintage Reserve is a Bordeaux-style blend that hails from superior vineyard blocks at our winery estate in the Santa Ynez Valley. This is the 11th bottling of our Vintage Reserve since the inaugural vintage of 1977. The 2001 Vintage Reserve exhibits a complexity of bouquet and flavor that is attributable to the inclusion of the five classic red Bordeaux varietals. Aromas of boysenberry and mocha are accented with notes of cedar, cola and spice. Layered flavors of blackberry, red cherry, eucalyptus and cocoa unfold across a rich, supple texture. The Malbec component adds a hint of tobacco, while Petit Verdot contributes raspberry accents and chewy tannins at the front. Cabernet Franc adds a dimension of firm tannins to a full, elegant finish.
