Reif Estate’s Reserve Cab is made from vines planted in 1989 and spends 14 months in a blend of French and Hungarian oak – the result is complexity of both aromas and flavours: the nose gives off aromas of coffee, new leather, mocha and some herbal notes … the palate is loaded with all kinds of wonderful flavours: raspberry, licorice, sweet vanilla bean, strawberry jam, spiced black cherry and dark chocolate – and there’s to come, more you’ll just have to wait for it be it a few hours in a decanter or 5 years in your cellar.
