2023 LXV Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

Nose Bordeaux-inspired herbal profile with fresh green pepper and white peppercorn. Hints of soy, hoisin, sliced ginger, and toasted sesame. Violet/purple floral notes emerge as wine warms on the palate.

Palate Medium-plus body with fine-grained tannins — more cedar and graphite on the structure. Vanilla in the back palate but very cigar box driven retronasal aromas. Herbal spice layers over blackcurrant and dark cherry. Lots of drying tannin on the back end. Firm drying tannins shape a long, age-worthy finish. Will definitely have the structure to lay down for a long time!
