2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve
Estate Cabernet Vineyard Planted | 1999 / 1.41 acres

Bitner Vineyard's is celebrating our 20th Cabernet vintage by releasing our Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 from our estate vineyard planted in 1999.
Live Certified. Bee Friendly Farming. Salmon-Safe Certified.
Lower than average yields in this vineyard produce rich, concentrated fruit that is harvested by hand when it reaches optimal ripeness. Aged for 3 years in French oak barrels, this Cabernet Sauvignon expresses the very best pairing of sustainable farming and winemaking dedication.
Our 2018 Estate Reserve bottling greets the nose with ripe black fruit aromas of boysenberry and cassis with a tempting hint of lavender. The rich, full-bodied flavors on the palate deliver an enticingly complex blend of currant, plum, and blackberry with lingering notes of leather and earthy spice.
