Michel-Schlumberger was founded over 25 years ago as a collaboration between two European ex-pats, and it's a pleasure to see that after all of this time the winery has maintained its European sense of balance and uncompromising quality. The Artist Series is always a top bottling for the winery and this Cabernet-dominant Signature Reserve sources fruit from some of the finest AVAs in the Napa Valley. The result is a stunning blend with rich flavor and loads of texture; ideally paired with a slow-and-low beef braise on a crisp evening!

Each of these vineyards brings their own palate of depth and personality that are combined to create this richly layered wine.

Fermentation and Aging
The grapes were crushed into small fermenters. After "cold-soaking" to extract rich color, the crushed grapes fermented for two weeks to fully develop a rich mouthfeel and palate. The wine was aged for 24 months in French oak barrels (40% new).

Sensory Notes
Color: Deep ruby
Aromas: Deep blackberry, dark plum, and black cherry; matured in rich French oak
Palate: Full-bodied with dense and wonderfully complex layers of dark fruit flavors
