Note di degustazione
The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Réserve Spéciale is another compelling wine from Arrowood. A whole range of dark spice, leather, smoke and licorice notes meld around a core of deep, dense fruit. The tannins are imposing today, and yet there is more than enough breadth and resonance in the fruit to provide balance. Readers will have to be patient though.

The deep purple-black colored 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Speciale (100% Cabernet Sauvignon) sings of fresh blackcurrants, warm plums, mulberries and black raspberries with touches of cedar chest, pencil lead, underbrush and sautéed herbs. Full-bodied and laden with black fruits and earth layers, it has a firm, grainy structure and a long, earthy finish. 715 cases produced.
Another sensational barrel sample is the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Réserve Spéciale, which is all Cabernet that will see 32 months in just over half new oak. As with the other top releases here, it’s a vineyard and cellar selection. Offering lots of sweet oak, cassis, lead pencil, and floral notes, it’s medium to full-bodied, silky, and downright seamless, with awesome purity. Give it 2-3 years of bottle age and enjoy over the following two decades. While created by Richard Arrowood, this estate was purchased by Kendall-Jackson and the wines are made today by Kristina Shideler, who took over from Heidi von der Mehden in 2015. These are classic, impeccably made, and age-worthy wines.
