"Aging tobacco in French Oak barrels previously used to mature Flint Knoll Winery’s prestigious 2021 Royal Appointment Cabernet Sauvignon, allowed Estate Reserve’s flavor to be subtly influenced by both. 2021 was a special year for wine in this region. A lack of rain coupled with lower temperatures resulted in an ultra rare vintage from Flint Knoll, making the Estate Reserve Release No. 3 truly unique. Aging tobacco in these specific barrels creates a smooth and elegant cigar with notes of cedar, vanilla and nuts, a nuanced nod to Napa Valley." - Macanudo
