Cabernet Sauvignon-Syrah Reserve – 2010; Becker Vineyards; Fredericksburg, Texas

This 60/40 Cab-Syrah blend from Becker Vineyards is still drinking very nicely.  It is heavy on the chocolate notes with a touch of black dry fruit. The firm tannins are holding up quite well.  The wine is smooth and has a touch of spice with a defined leathery finish.  One can still denote a nice earthiness to this lovely wine as well. This bottle still has the potential to lay down for several years so if you have any left in your cellar, don’t feel the rush to get rid of them all just yet.  Keep some to enjoy again in the 2020’s!  Cheers!!
