Item Description

 

The Finest from Meteor

--One 1.5 L 2014 Meteor Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Special Family Reserve

The Special Family Reserve represents the finest that Meteor Vineyard has to offer.  Bottled only in magnum and larger formats, it is a standout wine from a standout vintage, and this single clone shines a spotlight on what is possible from the Meteor vineyard.  A singular expression of Cabernet, the Special Family Reserve shows the exotic spice, rich chocolate notes, and dark red fruit that the little patch of land in Coombsville can yield, master-crafted by the ever amazing winemaking team of Dawnine and Bill Dyer.

Wine critic Robert Parker said “The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Special Family Reserve is a dense, rich, complex wine, with notes of high-quality oak interwoven with blackberry, cassis, graphite and camphor. There’s an almost burning ember, Graves-like subtleness that also comes through, which is possibly the minerality that is often found in Coombsville. … it is a special, rich, full-bodied wine clearly built for 20 or more years of cellaring.”

This is a wine of great complexity -- A true wine for the ages.
