Tasting Notes

WE96

Only the second time The Hustler has been made, this spent 38 months in barrel. All the fruit is sourced from the Morrison Lane vineyard. Port-like and amazingly concentrated, it's about as far as a dry wine can go and show fruit that is not buried in new oak. Here the fruit is a dark blend of berries and cassis; there is a dense layer of chocolate and earth underneath, with a finish loaded with baking spices.

WS93

Big, broad and generous, offering a powerful mouthful of black cherry, sassafras and sweet leather flavors that persist against mildly gritty tannins. Best from 2014 through 2017. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 135 cases made.
