Estate1856 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon - Barrel Reserve

Limited stock, 19 bottles

Premium craft wines from a family-run winery in Sonoma County. The owner studied winemaking at UC Davis and also studied wine aromas. Her study contributed to the wine aroma wheels. Please enjoy this award-winning fragrant Bordeaux blend made carefully with passion by fragrance experts.  

Richly concentrated, dark aromatics of wild blackberry, blueberry and mocha-laced oak followed by dark plum, black cherry, vanilla and chocolate. Supple tannins stay in the background complimenting the layered flavors. We recommend decanting 30-60 minutes before enjoying.
