The 2017 Reserve from Roger Sabon is sensational. Aromas of ripe dark raspberries and dark plums are woven together with spices, savory herbs, pepper, smoke and earthy nuances that all come together and burst from the glass. On the palate this is full-bodied and remarkably concentrated with a core of beautiful sweet ripe dark fruits framed by nice underlying acidity that keeps it fresh and inviting through the finish. This is absolutely marvelous today, yet should also offer a drinking window that spans nearly two decades. 80% Grenache and 10% Syrah and Mourvèdre. An astonishing value.
