I assume the 2012 Proprietary Red Vintage Reserve comes from the winery’s finest lots. It is no wimpy wine at 14.9% natural alcohol and appears to be made from Bordeaux varietals. It demonstrates that like Napa, Sonoma can also make exquisite, full-throttle, multidimensional, big, rich red wines. This dense purple-colored effort possesses oodles of blackberry and cassis fruit, hints of charcoal and background oak, attractive glycerin and a full-bodied opulence. It is still primary, but offers beautiful purity, density and full-bodied power. Give it another 1-2 years to develop additional nuances, and drink it over the next two decades

Tasting Notes:
The Vintage Reserve represents the pinnacle of what Gundlach Bundschu produces each year. In 2012, Mother Nature blessed us with an exemplary growing year for great Bordeaux-style wines on Rhinefarm. A little more feminine and finesse driven than some of her peers to the east, the 2012 Vintage Reserve is a powerful Cabernet Sauvignon-based wine that provides the muscle you would expect from a flagship wine with the elegance, polish and refinement that can only come from a cool climate. Bold, seductive aromas waft out of the glass to greet the olfactory receptors with chocolate-covered blueberries and beautiful notes of violets and lavender, intermingled with the warm aromatic
