Bold, concentrated red wine with balanced tannins, flavors of dark plums, mint, blackcurrant, and dark chocolate.

Hand-picked grapes from older, lower-yielding vines are used. Fermentation is carried out with a selected yeast strain under controlled temperatures. Manual plunging during this period ensures optimal color extraction. After five days, the tanks are sealed, and they are allowed to macerate for a further period, usually 10-14 days. This is followed by pressing, and the wine is transferred to barrels to begin the secondary fermentation. At the conclusion, a final quality control and analysis are performed, and the Reserve is then prepared for barrel aging. Bottling is followed by hand-labeling and further maturation in the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eClassic Cabernet aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, dark cherry, and hints of violet are supported by a vibrant nose.
