Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Deep Ruby, aromas of red/black fruits with cedar and tobacco notes. On the palate blackberry currant with notes of licorice, mushroom & cigar box, adding a nutty oak character. Fine tannins, medium finish ending with earthy character. Drink now as fruit is waning a bit.

Still going very strong at almost a decade. I really enjoyed some of the secondary characteristics that age has brought.

Pleasure in a bottle! Okay you hedonist berry lovers, this inky dark red is bold and sassy.

Wow! I would say a very pleasant surprise, but Westerly is the best WTSO discovery I have made. So when I saw this Bordeaux blend come up, I jumped on it. 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 23% Petit Verdot and 4% Cabernet Franc. Winemaker is Adam Henkel who used to be at Harlan.

Sometimes it's hard to live up to expectations, but this certainly did! Lovey lavender and warm oak notes in the glass. Very expressive. Strawberry, blackberry, cassis on the palate. I love the cab franc here! Well integrated tannins. Nice moderate finish. Winner!

Luscious and plummy, and the tannins still have some grip. 70% new French oak rounds this out very nicely. A (not so) guilty pleasure.
