Tasting Notes
Michael Keenan's collection of vineyard parcels at high elevations on Spring Mountain created a totally delicious 2017 Reserve. Its pure mountain-blueberry essence is hard to find outside of a sunny August day spent eating blueberries straight off the bush. There's also a brighter glimmer of red fruit, seeming to reflect off the mineral tannins as the flavors leap out of the glass. A chef friend remarked on the complexity of this wine and how it would be easy to drink a lot of it: "The tannins are kind of perfect, begging for teriyaki beef." Those fruit tannins have a delicacy and freshness that’s rare in any vintage, and may be a marker for the best of the 2017s. W&S Best US Cabernets & Blends
