Sourced from the original 1996 plantings in the estate vineyard, the Reserve is a selection of the winemakers' favorite barrels in the cellar. Over the past 15 years, the senior winemaker has visited the Burgundy region of France and consulted with grand cru winemakers there, resulting in a wine that is elegant, layered and age worthy. This vintage will develop and gain with time in the cellar, but its deep and brooding personality makes it a standout, even now.
