"A blend of 69% Cabernet Sauvignon and 31% Shiraz, the 2004 The Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz gives a deep garnet-purple color and intense cassis, coffee and menthol aromas with hints of dusty earth, underbrush, black truffles and a whiff of lavender. Very fine, elegant and medium-bodied in the mouth, there’s just enough fruit and savory flavors to balance the crisp acid and firm fine tannins. It should age beautifully, drinking now to 2020+."
