Tasting Notes

WA95

The 2006 Collaboration I is the same blend but spent “only” 23 months in barrel. It reveals a similar aromatic and flavor profile but appears to be just a bit more forward, succulent, and voluptuous. It will deliver prime drinking from 2012 to 2025.

WE93

Very fragrant and surprisingly soft upon entry, this blend ultimately lives up to the vintage's reputation for compact, unyielding red wines. This wine, made by Cadence's Ben Smith, manages to be both approachable and at the same time cellar-worthy. Cassis, plum, and the vineyard's characteristic minerality thrust up through the palate like basalt monoliths.
