The 2019 Winemaker’s Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is a bold and expressive wine that showcases the depth and complexity of this iconic varietal. Crafted for those who appreciate a powerful yet elegant red wine, this reserve selection is a true testament to Callaway Winery’s commitment to excellence. Even though this wine is ready to drink now, it is absolutely age-worthy and will improve for years to come.
This rich and structured Cabernet Sauvignon opens with aromas of ripe blackberries, cassis, and dark cherries, layered with notes of cedar, vanilla, and baking spices. On the palate, bold flavors of black currant, plum, and dark chocolate are complemented by hints of espresso, toasted oak, and subtle earthiness. The firm tannins and well-integrated acidity create a smooth, lingering finish, leaving an impression of depth and sophistication.
100% of the fruit was hand picked from the Monte de Oro vineyard. Harvested at 24.2 brix, Bordeaux clone #8. One specific Saint Emilion, France yeast was selected for permium quality. Hand picked six barrels for individual expression.
The 2019 Winemaker’s Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon pairs beautifully with hearty, flavorful dishes that match its bold character. Enjoy it with grilled ribeye steak, herb-crusted lamb chops, or braised short ribs. Its robust structure also pairs well with aged cheeses like sharp cheddar, gouda, or Parmesan. Whether shared during a special occasion or savored by the fire, this Cabernet Sauvignon delivers a memorable and sophisticated drinking experience.
