The 2011 Estate Reserve is gorgeous as well. Possessing a floral-driven bouquet that includes lead pencil shavings, black raspberry, spice and crushed flowers, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, superb mid-palate depth and a classically styled, age-worthy feel. A blend of 95% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot that spent 22 months in French oak, it’s another classic effort from this estate that will have 15 to 20 years of longevity.
