McGah Scarlett Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2017 750ml

This Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon comes from McGah Scarlett’s two best blocks and most intriguing 11 barrels of the vintage. Made entirely of old vine clone 7, this vineyard is on a fantastic roll and is getting better and better with each year due to its vine age and location on the ranch. Inky purple blue color with a nose of fragrant cassis and graham cracker, its loaded with blackberry, sour cherry, and slight earthy notes typical of this terroir. Tart cranberry, tobacco, and a hint of red licorice push waves of fruit that pump out flavor and intensity that seemingly last forever. The mid palate is framed with a subtle amount of natural acidity which makes this wine dark, ripe, and elegant with nice extraction and intensity. The power of this vintage co-mingles with our velvet touch of natural winemaking – the counterbalance is a jaw-dropping Cabernet Sauvignon. Enjoy with a nice decant or cellar for 5 years for all of the complexities to smooth out and come together.
