2014 John Anthony Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
“Four barrels of Cabernet Sauvignon from over two hundred barrels produced in the John Anthony Vineyards portfolio, the Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is the best in show of the 2014 vintage. This is the top two percent. Complex black, blue and red fruit are all showcased within a frame of potpourri, lead and sweet earthy tones. This is a wine of both elegance and muscle, whose fruit comes from the best of both our hillside and valley floor vineyards.”
