LUKE 2019 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

Showcasing a deep, dark, almost opaque ruby to purple color, LUKE 2019 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon bursts from the glass with intense aromas of cassis, black currant, dark cherry and pressed herbs. The palate is super approachable, albeit young, with enough seriousness to age for years in bottle. As in prior vintages, all fruit was hand harvested in late September to mid-October and processed quickly to maintain cool temperatures and retain fruit freshness. Fermented in a mix of stainless-steel bins and barrel, time on skins averaged 16-18 days with 50% going through fermentation spontaneously. The wine was aged in French oak barrels for 20 months.
