Had this wine on Typsy Tuesday with Paul at Cellar-17 in Houston, and it really rocks. The bottle itself is a work of art, it looks like a medecine bottle from the 1800’s. Ehlers Estate has 39 acres of vineyard land that is farmed biodynamically by winemaker and vineyard manager Rudy Zuidema. The terrain is gently sloped, and the property is divided into 24 individual blocks. Ehlers Estate is a “not-for-profit” winery and is held in trust for the Leducq Fountation. Jean and Sylviane Leducq established the trust in 1996 to fund the Foundation, which supports international cardiovascular research. The “1886” is 100% cabernet sauvignon and is considered Ehlers Estate flagship wine.

Chocolate dipped cherries, with layers of blackberry’s, white pepper, anise, currants, eucalyptus, with a hint of cedar and leather. soft round tannins, and long, long finish. I loved this wine and will have it again very soon 
If you can find this wine buy it because their 2005 offer has gone way up in price $95. Everyone is finding out about this juice.
