Von Strasser Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 1996 is a library-aged Bordeaux-style red blend from Diamond Mountain District, Napa Valley, in a 750ml bottle. It was only the second Reserve vintage ever produced by the estate, after the Reserve program debuted in 1995. Von Strasser Winery was founded in 1990 by Rudy and Rita von Strasser on the steep volcanic slopes of Diamond Mountain. Rudy von Strasser played a central role in establishing the Diamond Mountain District as its own AVA and was the first American intern at Château Lafite Rothschild, working the 1985 harvest. The Reserve bottling is selected from the estate's strongest vineyard blocks and given extended barrel aging. Aroma: dried fig, tobacco leaf, cedar, earth and subtle iron-mineral notes. Palate: resolved tannins with dried black cherry, plum compote, graphite and herbal complexity. Finish: long and drying, with lingering minerality, earthy and slightly smoky notes.
