Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve – 2002; Travis Peak Select; Marble Falls, Texas

This incredible wine is a great way to end off the 2011 Thanksgiving holidays!  Produced by Flat Creek Estates, It has been aged at least two years in French oak followed buy one year in the bottle.  Bold, strong, aromatic….whatever quality term first comes to mind fits this wine perfectly.  The quality of the taste just gets better and better as you let it breath for a while.  Your palate will be pleased by what the nose has already sensed.  The wine is full bodied, with lovely tannins and a beautiful finish with a nice light smokiness. If you happen to still have this bottle around, don’t feel bad having this one just by yourself.  It was wonderful going into the bottle and has aged nicely. This wine could definitely go toe-to-toe with any world class wine.
