Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Canada Family 2015

The Canada Family Vineyard sitting just outside of Plains, TX is the farthest West Texas vineyard. The large limestone shelf, rocky granitic soil that gives the wine its characteristic mineral notes, distinguishing it from all other Texas Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2015 harvest produced near perfect bloom and cluster development with small berries resulting in concentrated flavors and color.
Aromatics: Bright fruit and red cherry, white pepper, and earth
On the Palate: Cherry and cranberry, all-spice, well-integrated tannins, rich fruit, minerality finishing with notes of vanilla, toasted caramel and lingering soft fruit
