Mixed with a good high proof rye, this makes a killer Black Manhattan.

2001 Renaissance Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve
1/27/2024 - vinole Likes this wine: 92 Points
I am happy to say that after leaving two previous scores in the mid 80's, that the bottle I opened tonight, after over 20 years in the bottle and an hour in the decanter, was finally ready to drink and was very enjoyable. It had higher acidity reminiscent of Italian wines, but had rich dark fruit that reminded you it was from California. My wife also commented how enjoyable it was after I cautioned her it might be a drain pour. Love to be proven wrong when a wine blossoms like this one. If you still have, drink now with just a short decant, mainly for sediment (I had a lot that stuck to the neck). Enjoy!

Works great as a blending whiskey to add proof and sweetness.
