Description

A limited production, “Reserve” level wine (only 420 cases made), using grapes from top-tier vineyard sites exclusively, and then selecting only the best barrels for the blend, in order to achieve the most elegant, refined expression of the Renaissance’s vineyard rugged terroir.

Blend: 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc.

This is an a-typical Cabernet-based wine for California, being distinctly terroir-driven, with no makeup or embellishment whatsoever.    

Note: This wine has been stored in the winery cellar since its inception. That is a dry cellar, and the corks are often brittle and crumbly. Use caution when uncorking, preferably using an ah-so type opener or, even better, a “Durant”  .
