RESERVE CAVALIE
gourmet pairings
This hearty Bordeaux style
blend pairs beautifully with a
meaty pasta Bolognese.
tasting notes
The powerful Merlot is evident in this blend which opens with
aromas of ripe blueberries wrapped in the warmth of warm
baking spices and sweet caramel. The Cabernet Sauvignon
creates a frame of structure while the Malbec adds suppleness,
weight, and length. This rich, full-bodied wine is full of intriguing
complexity built around sleek tannins that lead to a finish that
goes on and on.
winemaker's insight
The fruit was machine harvested with our "Selective Harvest"
attachment allowing the fruit to be sorted in the vineyard. We
bypassed the destemmer to maintain as much whole berry as
possible. The grapes were sorted a second time on our sorting
table and then fermented in our French Oak tank. After draining
the wine and pressing, the wine was racked to a blend of new
and old French oak barrels for malolactic fermentation.
