proper Cellaring recommendations
Our Reserve is made to age for 20 - 30 years in your cellar. Of course, there are some vintage-to-vintage variations to this recommendation. Wine should be stored horizontally at 55 - 57 degrees in a vibration and light free environment.

Tasting Notes
As always, Leonetti Reserve reflects our efforts to produce a wine amongst the finest in the world representing our very best efforts. It is only produced in exceptional vintages and blended in varying varietal percentages through diligent selection of individual barrels to bottle the greatest wine possible. 2004 is 5th consecutive vintage we have felt worthy of producing Leonetti Reserve.
The wine is exceptionally dark, with a wonderfully complex nose dominated by ripe black fruits including plums and blackberries, dried flowers, smoke, crème cassis and vanilla, and licorice, all backed by a lovely minerality. The flavors on the palate are fat and expansive with wonderfully fresh acidity to balance. Built for immediate pleasure but also long-term aging, as shown by the wines ample yet perfectly ripe tannin and pure, long finish.
