Notes & Flavors
Generations is a Bordeaux-style blend created to honor our family'spast, present and future. The fruit is night-picked from our estatevineyards in Yountville and aged in new French oak barrels. Aromasof black cherry, coffee bean and blueberry segue to a full-bodied wine with a long finish of ripe berry and toasty crème brûlée.
Blend: 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, and 4% Petit Verdot.
92 Points, James Suckling
“A dense and rich wine with blueberry, red brick and tile aromas that follow through to full body, tight and chewy tannins and a fresh finish. Needs a year or two to come together.”
90 Points, Wine Advocate
“Containing a 4% splash of Petit Verdot, the deep garnet-purple colored 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Family Reserve has a cassis, pencil shavings, spice box and earth-scented nose. In the mouth, it's pretty oaky, firm, chewy and a little drying. It offers decent expression with a mainly earthy character and a very big, full and warm finish.”
