Winemaker Tasting Notes:
This second version of Cabernet-Syrah blend came out significantly more harmonious and elegant, with riper fruit and tannins than its predecessor. This wine now joins the “Reserve Level” class and can be seen as a symbol of Renaissance’s “new style” of wines: keeping the concentration and depth of the old, with additional refinement, balance, and early appeal.
