Tasting Notes

WE92

Other wineries have produced very good vineyard-designated Cabs from this mountain property. Now Brandlin has a go, and the wine shows promise. It`s considerably more tannic than most expensive New Age Napa Cabs, so dry and astringent that it demands cellar time. But it should develop, to judge from the powerful core of black currant fruit. Best after 2008 and through 2012, at least.

WS90

A ripe, juicy Mount Veeder offering, with black cherry and wild berry fruit that`s well-proportioned and focused. Tightens up midpalate, showing its tannic muscle on the finish. New second label of Cuvaison. Drink now through 2013. 808 cases made.
