While the blend in this Reserve bottling remains a secret, we can confirm that the varietals in the Reserve blend are the same as those used in the classic Cryptology. Furthermore, we can disclose that the percentages of the constituent varietals vary somewhat from the original. We can also share that the Reserve is a "best barrel blend", arrived at through rigorous blending trials and multiple tastings to ensure that the best barrel of each varietal was used in the final blend.

"Fennel-frond aromas give an herbal angle to the nose of this bottling, which also shows baked red fruits. Flavors of anise and toasted oregano come through on the palate alongside sagebrush." ~ Matt Kettmann, Wine Enthusiast Magazine
