Tasting Notes

WA94

The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Christopher’s is a huge, wonderfully complete wine. It boasts considerable inner sweetness and perfume, but has more than enough fruit to match its tannic heft. Black cherries, blackberries, mint, menthol, mocha and spices are all woven together in this exceptional, refined Cabernet. Layers of fruit build to the huge, opulent finish. The minerality and acidity of this great hillside site comes through in spades. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024. Rating: 94+

WE94

A big, thick, massive Cabernet, impressive for sheer volume. Yet it’s very tannic and dry. Deep down inside is an intense core of concentrated blackberry essence, coated in smoky new oak. This feels dramatic and important, but nowhere near ready. Give it eight years in the cellar.
