Reynolds Family Winery Estate Cabernet Sauvignon

Reynolds Family Winery Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Details
Price: $40.00 per bottle

Description: The 1999 vintage is the premier release of the Reynolds Family Winery. The 100% Cabernet Sauvignon is produced from grapes grown exclusively on the 7-acre home vineyard. The combination of two Bourdeaux Cabernet clones, #337 and #4, create exceptional complexity. The Cabernet clone #337 exhibits intense color and structure while clone #4 contributes deep berry, cassis and spice components to the flavors and aromas. The artisan winemaking techniques include the gentle treatment of the fruit in small bin fermentation lots, three daily hand punch down of caps and modest bladder pressing. The 1999 vintage was aged in 90% French oak and 10% American oak from the highest quality coopers including Bossuet, Seguin Moreau, Francois Freres and Nadalie. The broad spectrum of flavors is highlighted by chocolate, blackberry, with nuances of spice, tobacco leaf and prunes. For maximum enjoyment cellar and serve at 58 degrees.
