R&B 2004 Reserve Cabernet

R&B Cellars 2004 Reserve Cabernet Napa Valley – Vineyard: Bingham Ranch – The Bingham Ranch in Calistoga is one of the oldest cabernet vineyards in the Napa Valley, dating back to 1850s. There are two parcels of vines used in this cabernet, one is 55 years old and the other is 35 years. It is a small berry clone with very low yields, approximately one and a half tons per acre. The resulting fruit is very intensely flavored with a rich dark blackberry profile that makes intensely structured cabernet sauvignon.

Winemaker’s Comments: This 2004 R&B Reserve Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is an extraordinary wine with remarkable depth and complexity. It exhibits a huge core of dark black cherry fruit with elements of dark black currant, tea, smoked duck and violets in the bouquet. The small addition of Merlot adds softness, color and a touch of sweet cherries. The flavors of dark black berries, currants, chocolate, and cassis are evident, with a huge juicy blackberry finish. This wine is a classic Cabernet Sauvignon with all of the exotic spice and layers of fruit you would expect from a Reserve wine.
