1998 Reserve Blend $501 - $1000 chocolate and berry pie fillingWarm leathery, spicy and toasty aromas dominate the nose with hints of dried cherries and red currants. The attack is polished and mouth filling with a lively acid backbone of support. Fruit flavors of black cherry and plum mingle with nuances of cedar, cinnamon and dry cocoa.
