Tasting Notes

WE96
It's hard to exaggerate the purity of this wine, which is 100% Cabernet. It startles for the intensity of mountain blackberries and raspberries, and then a firm minerality kicks in, along with the tannins, providing grounding structure. The finish lasts for a full minute. Winemaker Luc Morlet has really hit the jackpot with this dry, spectacularly complex young wine, which will develop for at least a decade. Cellar Selection.
WS91
Rich and full-bodied, intense and saturated, with potent mocha-laced currant, blackberry, mineral, sage and cedar notes, ending with a plush, tannic finish. Needs time and aeration. Best from 2013 through 2020.
