The 2018 Messenger RESERVE Cabernet Sauvignon has a nose full of complex cherries from front to back.
Upfront through the mid. you get cherries blending with cassis and plum staying with you until the long finish... then hints of the French oak that add to the structure of this elegant Cabernet.
From the elegant aromatics to the long velvet finish, this wine nods to Bordeaux yet embodies the majesty of Northern California's grapes.

The 2017 Messenger RESERVE Cabernet is a strong ruby in color… on the nose, cherries and violets that translate to the palate from front to the back with gentle tannins running through to the finish… and PS; as this wine gets some air, it’s showing off what subtle nuances a Cabernet can have.
