2022 Estate Reserve Magnum

JOSH'S NOTES 
The first time this wine comes predominantly from our estate site, Schafer (48%), in the foothills of the Blue Mountains, slightly edging out McQueen (45%), with the remainder coming from LeFore. A perfect representation of three grand crus in the Walla Walla Valley and an absolutely stunning wine. Wet stone and slate, beautifully framed French oak, pipe tobacco, just the right amount of classic Cabernet herbal tones, perfectly ripe blackberries, and it continues to give more and more. This new Estate Reserve is full bodied, rich, large without rough edges, and has great energy to the way it “feels”. I tasted while writing these notes over multiple days and it only improved - a sign of great things to come. Truly hard to keep my hands off this wine and there is potential to be our finest to date. Drink 2029 through 2055.
