This is a limited production wine created by the careful selection and blending of a small group of the best barrels the vintage has to offer. This wine is an absolute classic. Superlative barely can do it justice. It opens with masses of black currant, black cherry and all shades of blue-black fruit pouring out of the glass in an endless wave of heady perfume. Oh, my! The promise of the aroma is realized at the first sip. It’s that magic combination of power and finesse, flavor and grace, that everyone tries for, but is seldom achieved. Here it is in abundance. Dark, vibrant fruit, sleek and seductive, rises out of a potent mid-palate that cloaks a great inner energy. And for all that, as good as it is now, the lovely acidity and fine grain tannins suggest that there is still plenty of time for the wine to grow and develop. Is it possible to improve on perfection? The 2016 Cook’s Flat Reserve is a wine that may well be able to provide a definitive answer to that tantalizing question. 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 46% Cabernet Franc
