2016 John Anthony Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
"Chocolate covered strawberries layered with blueberry and persimmon. Espresso liqueur, tarragon, sweet pipe tobacco and cocoa nib frame the secondary. Hints of wet gravel, fried sage leaves, and white pepper add complexity to this powerhouse wine, mostly from our hillside vineyards. Elegant and assertive oak tones of warm cedar displayed in this statuesque presentation of our Cabernet Sauvignon. Crème de cassis and lavender arise in an exquisitely long finish, affirming the pedigree of our Reserve program."
