Tasting Notes

WA95

The 2005 Metisse has soared in quality since I tasted it last year, putting on weight and showing much more drama and intensity than I thought. The final blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Petit Verdot has it all – a deep ruby/purple color and a beautiful nose of creme de cassis, vanilla, coffee bean, and spice box. The wine is full-bodied, has superb richness, silky tannins, and a very layered, rich mouthfeel. This is a sensational wine that can be drunk now or cellared for at least two decades or more.

WS93

Intense and concentrated, focused and complex, with dried currant, black cherry, cedar, sage and mineral flavors presented in a full-bodied style and framed by tight tannins.
