Cabernet Sauvignon

Reserve No. 1

(1) 750-mL in Wood Box

At Abeja, a Reserve is a wine of very limited production that reflects the absolute best of a special vintage: 2002 was such a vintage. We selected our favorite barrels from our finest lots and blended them to make a wine that captures the special nature of the vintage and embodies our vision of classic Cabernet Sauvignon produced from grapes grown in Washington State. This vintage of reserve brings together fruit from some of the state’s oldest Cabernet Sauvignon vines grown at Bacchus Vineyard with fruit from the younger, highly acclaimed, Seven Hills Vineyard in Walla Walla. Bacchus contributes big, beautiful structure, and Seven Hills adds soft tannins and pretty, exotic fruit, an extraordinary combination.

Together, they make an elegantly powerful wine. Its aromatics are full of perfume and delicacy, richness and spice. It has a lush, full front, a mid-palate loaded with fruit, silky, luxurious tannins, and layer after layer of complexity. It was aged 26 months in 100% new French oak and has been carefully cellared by Abeja for 20 years. 

Includes one-750mL bottle packaged in Abeja's custom wood box. 

Only 24 bottles are offered.
