Tasting Notes

WA96
Still in barrel, the 2013 Soul Of A Lion checks in as a rough blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc and the rest Petit Verdot that's aging in 100% new French oak. It's a serious effort that has lots of chalky minerality in its blue fruits, espresso roast, lead pencil and graphite-styled bouquet. Made in a full-throttle, pedal-to-the-metal style, it has terrific purity of fruit, a massive mid-palate and ample sweet tannin. Drink this beauty anytime over the coming 10-15 years. Barrel Sample: 94-96 Points
WS90
A powerful, explosive offering of rich currant, blackberry, licorice, loamy earth, cedar and tobacco flavors. Sizable in every way, with a measure of grace and finesse that sustains the long, persistent finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2032. 1,000 cases made.
