Tasting Notes

WA96
A blend of 41% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 29% Cabernet Franc, the 2012 Klein (they do two wines from this site, a 100% Syrah and this Bordeaux blend) has fabulous Cabernet notes of currants, ground herbs, crushed rocks and graphite to go with a deep, full-bodied, layered, concentrated style on the palate. There's an upfront feel here due to the wealth of fruit, but it has ample tannic grip through the mid-palate and finish. Give it a few years, it will knock your socks off for at least the following 10-15 years.
WS92
Powerful, ripe and focused, with a dense mouthful of blueberry, plum and licorice flavors playing against firm tannins that wrap around the extended finish. This has presence and a sense of tension. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2018 through 2022. 232 cases made.
