Wine Access Tasting Notes Purple-black to the rim, infused with aromas of crushed black fruits, black raspberry, and cedar. Big, bold, and intensely concentrated on the attack, with flavors of mountain blueberry and wild blackberry, with a generous dollop of crème de cassis. Despite all the ripe fruit intensity, the 2018 Private Reserve is beautifully balanced, with finished alcohol at a modest 14.9 degrees, and round, noble late-harvest tannins that argue convincingly for 7-15 years of cellar slumber.
While he couldn’t be specific about the source of the wine (neither the winery name nor the winemaker), he was able to tell us that the winery was “located in the high ground above Lake Hennessey.”
