Title:  Vintner's Reserve

Please explain this term. I have a bottle of 2001 Cabernet Vintners Reserve?? Thanks L Smith


Thanks for asking.  A vintner is another term for winemaker and reserve represents a blend that is a cut above.  For us, it is part of our culling and blending process.  As an example, for our Vintner’s Reserve Cabernet, we cull through more than 400 different lots before selecting the blend that meets our standard of quality.
