Tasting Notes

WE94

I have not been impressed by this bottling in past vintages, but the '05 establishes a new benchmark. Just exactly why is hard to say. Yields were exceptionally low in this long, cool vintage, and lots of new French oak frames dramatically rich, ripe flavors of mashed cherries and raspberries, sprinkled with cinnamon, a drop of creme de cassis, and a pinch of white pepper. The depth and length are beautiful.

WS90

A bold, rich style. The firm tannins are mixed with layers of dried cherry, earthen floor and cola flavors that fan out and coat the palate, ending with a rich, complex finish.
