Since 1981, the Bundschu Family has crafted a limited Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve from the most elegant and expressive barrels in the cellar a wine that serves as our north star for winemaking each year. The 2021 vintage is ripe and full-bodied, with deep, layered aromas of pipe tobacco, tobacco leaf, and spiced tea biscuit mingling with lush purple fruit. On the palate, rich flavors of ripe plum and dark berry are framed by warm baking spice and a savory undercurrent. Powerful yet balanced, this wine delivers a long, refined finish and the structure to cellar for decades. Pairing Suggestions: Peking duck with crispy skin and plum sauce, roasted tomato and anchovy bucatini, Spanish roasted red pepper salad, wild mushroom risotto, or classic paella.

The 2021 Vintage Reserve label, created by designer Daisy Hardman, began as a black ink and pen piece on white watercolor paper, later inverted digitally for added depth and drama. The artwork guides the viewer through the seasons of regenerative farming, with vine leaves unfolding as a visual metaphor for growth and renewal.

Rated 96 Points James Suckling
"A full-bodied and powerful wine that is layered and complex. Earth, tobacco, black fruit, blue fruit, violets, graphite, acidity and tannins intermingle with structure and plushness. Sourced from some of the oldest vines and highest elevations."
