Deep, intense dark fruit character with mineral, violet and earthy truffle complexity. Firm, integrated tannins for aging, persistent finish. Powerful, yet extremely elegant. Selected from our finest vineyards, this wine captures the unique flavor profile and exquisite balance of the Oakville bench region.
Tree fruit aromas of pear and quince combine with delicate floral notes and a pinch of nutmeg spice to showcase the true essence of the Chardonnay grape. Influence from French oak barrels adds a hint of vanilla custard and contributes to a round, smooth texture while preserving a freshness that invites another taste.
Plush, exotic aromas of guava, passion fruit and verbena layer over flavors of ripe white peaches and nectarines on the palate, wrapped in mouth-watering acidity and extending into a lively finish.
90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot
The 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve carries the full classic aromas of crème de cassis, licorice, and cedarwood with layers of spice, camphor and roasted herbs. On the palate, the wine reflects the very expressive terroir of the To Kalon Vineyard with ripe blue and black fruits—mineral-laced dark berries and powerful, integrated tannins for which this vineyard is known. The lush aromatics and well developed flavors are wrapped in firm, velvety tannins, giving the wine an exceedingly long, aristocratic finish.
This remarkably luxurious wine exemplifies the power and elegance of Oakville wines - one of the valley's most distinctive AVA's. Woodland aromas surround scents of wild dark berry fruit, violets and bouquet garni. Ripe black cherries laced with black licorice entice the palate as plush tannins transcend the long, opulent finish.
