Tasting Notes

WA96

The 2012 Estate Cuvee State Lane Vineyard, which is 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot aged in a combination of mostly new French oak, but some Hungarian oak as well, represents 1,190 cases, or 50% of the production from their estate vineyard. This wine shows beautiful floral notes along with hints of earth, chocolate, espresso, licorice and blackcurrants. It is elegant, medium to full-bodied, with impressive purity, texture and length. The wine shows relatively sweet tannin, but then so do most of the top 2012s. It should drink nicely for 15-20 more years.

V95

Dark ruby-red. Crushed blackcurrant, mint, wild herbs and rose petal on the nose and in the mouth. Riper and deeper than the Endre but still with an exciting high pitch that serves to intensify the mid-palate. This wonderfully silky, tactile wine…
