2023 Bob Healy Reserve

JOSH'S NOTES 
This brand new, single vineyard Cabernet comes all from our own estate, Bob Healy. Bob Healy sits in the heart of the slope on what is known as “SeVein” in the southwest side of the Walla Walla Valley. A warm site that is sustainably farmed and planted almost entirely two different clones of Cabernet with one block being devoted to Malbec. This is almost always one of the first vineyards where I pick Cabernet each vintage and it is stunning in the glass. Dark fruit, blackberry, cassis, milk chocolate notes and a hint of classic tobacco. The wine itself has fine grained tannins that are chewy, voluminous, have great energy, and a long finish. Decant this now and pair with a fattier dish but it should age gracefully for the next 15+ years.
