Barrel Reserve 2024 Wine
For our 2024 Barrel Reserve, our winemakers set aside lots of wine that they feel have the qualities needed to be enhanced with barrel aging. These wines are firm, dark, and rich with bold tannins. Barrel aging softens those tannins and rounds out the texture, making it velvety and smooth. The oak also adds spicy notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove along with sweeter notes of vanilla and caramel. The varietals used are all known for their power and intensity. Cabernet Sauvignon is the ideal frame for a blend as it adds structure and depth. Juicy grapes like Merlot and Zinfandel bring in lusciousness while grapes like Malbec and Petite Sirah add dark color and violet flavors. The combined symphony of these has a palate loaded with blackberry, black current, clove, dark chocolate, and coffee flavors. This is a dark and spicy wine worthy of enjoying with a great meal today or cellaring for years to come.
