NOTES:  The 2003 Cellar Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is produced exclusively from grapes grown on the Rising Star Vineyard, located near the town of Rising Star, in Eastland County, Texas. This Cabernet Sauvignon was planted in 1986. The Rising Star Vineyard is on well-drained sandy loam soils, perfect for high quality production. This is an excellent, full-bodied Cabernet with flavors of black current, Bing cherry and toasty oak. The wine finishes with tannins that will extend aging and increase complexity. Our 2003 Cellar Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon will continue to improve with bottle age over the next 3- 5 years.

Serve this wine with rich meals such as beef, lamb or wild game. This red wine is a healthy complement to any meal. Enjoy!
