Wine Review: This midnight purple colored Cabernet Sauvignon from Titus opens with a red raspberry and black cherry bouquet with hints of nutmeg, coffee grounds and bacon. On the palate, this wine is full bodied with medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is nicely balanced, smooth, and delicate. The flavor profile is black cherry and black coffee blend with notes of cassis, stony minerality and oak. We also detected hints of cola and dash of black pepper. The finish is dry, and its tannins build-up and stick around for a very long time. The Tasting Panel would pair this Cab with Roy's prime rib roast. Enjoy – KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: The 2021 Titus Family Estate Reserve embodies the depth, concentration, and beauty of our Ehlers Lane vineyard with grace and elegance. A core of blueberry, black currant, mulberry and warm coffee are rounded out with hints of lilac and maduro wrapped cigar. Inkiness in the glass gives the wine depth and length with rich finely knit tannins melting to chocolate pot de crème intensity. Crème de cassis and berry tart notes yield to espresso and rich oak on the finish as the palate endures. Enjoy 2025-2041.
