Tasting Notes

WE97

A fine expression of the special strengths of the DuBrul vineyard. The fruit is pure and juicy, a riot of blueberry, blackberry and cassis. There is a focused thread of fresh herb and as the nose expands the baking spices kick in beautifully. A wine to study and explore; it can continue to evolve for hours, if not days. Cellar Selection

WA94

The 2008 Creative Impulse, a blend of 69% Cabernet Sauvignon and 31% Merlot from the DuBrul Vineyard, was reviewed one year ago as a barrel sample. It was naturally fermented and aged in 60% new oak. Deep purple in color, it displays an expressive, already complex bouquet of sandalwood, truffle, earthy minerals, incense, violets, black currant, and blackberry. In the glass it reveals a silky texture, ample fine-grained tannins, impeccable balance, and a lengthy, pure finish.
