2015 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
2015 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
From our Queenston Road Vineyard, this Cabernet Sauvignon draws mostly from the “old” block—fruit that consistently shows a denser, more structured, Old World style. The 2015 vintage delivered the heat needed to ripen this noble grape fully, giving us a wine that’s both powerful and age-worthy.
Aromas of kirsch, dark chocolate, cigar tobacco, and cedar lead into a palate layered with Black Forest cake, cinnamon bark, forest floor, and resinous cedar. Fine-grained tannins and bright acidity give it poise and longevity, making it a true collector’s Cabernet. Best enjoyed now through 2030.

Stand your ground! Everything you would expect from our Queenston Road Vineyard in a hot vintage; this Cabernet Sauvignon is intense. The smell of Kirsch haunts the nose while wafts of dark chocolate, sweet cigar tobacco and cedar set the tone for what’s to come on the palate. As much about texture as flavour, fine integrated tannins set the foundation for this age worthy Cabernet Sauvignon, as the supporting bright acid vaults flavours of Black Forest cake, forest floor, cinnamon bark, and cedar resin to the front of the glass.
There are two blocks of Cabernet Sauvignon at Queenston Road Vineyard. One of them was planted one year earlier, so we call it the “old” block. Funny thing: fruit from that block is usually more “old world” in style, denser and meatier relative to the “new world” fruit of the “new” block. This bottling is mostly from the old block. You’ll get what we mean when you taste it.
Braise it, stew it, confit or grill it; it doesn’t really matter what your preparation is, this Cabernet Sauvignon calls for bravado on a plate. Fine grained tannins and bright acidity provide the perfect backbone to BIG, rich umami driven foods like salt washed cheeses, earthy mushrooms and red meats.
