Tasting Notes

WA92

The Colonial Estate’s two flagship wines come from their own property. The 2006 Emigre is a blend of four vineyards and six grape varieties (Grenache, Shiraz, Mourvedre, Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan, and Muscadelle) with yields less than one ton per acre. The complex aromas include smoke, underbrush, mineral, espresso, black cherry, and blackberry liqueur. This is followed by a full-bodied, layered, concentrated wine with spicy, savory flavors, good depth, and several years of aging potential. Drink it from 2012 to 2025.

WS91

This offers a distinctive black olive cast to its dark berry and cherry flavors, which linger against fine tannins on the brooding finish. Grenache, Shiraz, Mourvèdre, Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignane and Muscadelle. Best from 2010 through 2014. 2,000 cases made.
