Reser ve Label The ter m ?reser ve? on a wine label has no legal definition, leading to many different inter pretations. The gener al implication is usually smaller quantity and higher quality. For instance, a few bar rels out of an entire lot sometimes evolve differently as they age, developing unique char acter that may mer it longer aging and a special bottling.

A reser ve label may also indicate the product of a super ior vineyard, or even a small section of a lar ger vineyard, which produces exceptional fr uit. That fr uit will be har vested at its peak, apar t from the sur rounding vines, and given special treatment in the winer y. Select oak bar rels par ticularly suited to the gr ape var iety and style of the wine also may be used, as well as extended aging.

A reser ve bottling of a wine may not be produced in ever y vintage, but only when nature conspires to create something ver y special. Thoughtful winemaker s employ the designation judiciously, assur ing that any bottle bear ing it is a ver y distinctive exper ience. p ag e 8
