Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve – 2017; Becker Vineyards; Fredericksburg, Texas

With a mix of fruit from the Texas High Plains and Hill Country, the best of both AVAs comes alive in this reserve Cabernet. This wine also includes just a bit of Cabernet Franc and Tannat in this French aged oak jewel.  Black cherries and leather are on the nose followed by some white pepper. The vanilla and hints of coffee certainly delight the palate with firm tannins rounding out the flavor profile.  The acids are holding at a strong moderate, as well.  Mark this one as another fantastic renowned 2017 Texas vintage and a great compliment to their 25th anniversary.  You can probably still hold for a few more years for added enjoyment. Cheer!
