Wm. Harrison Vineyards & Winery (William Harrison)
Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon Blend
Napa Valley, California, USA
My 1st time trying this wine. Thank Mark @Mark Flesher for sharing this one with me. Great Bordeaux blend, dark fruit. I love the earthy graphite on the nose. I truly wish the finish was a tad longer since I enjoy it so much!
thank you bud!

Drinking well. Dark fruit, tannins softening. Long dusty finish

Aug 12th, 2016One of the first Napa wines I ever purchased (I'm a late bloomer). Bottle #171 of 3840 of the 2005 William Harrison Rutherford Red is deep garnet in color. The mouthfeel is dense. This wine still has great fruit - black cherry front and mid-palate and tart red cherry on the finish - but intertwined with tertiary flavors, most noticeably mint and leather. Good tannin structure remains, although much softer than when I tasted this in 2009. I'm drinking this to celebrate the fourth anniversary of my website.

Jun 17th, 2015First mag I purchased from this winery, and this is 1 of 11 bottles purchased.....this is the last of two not counting the mag. Starting to ascend to its height but I still think it has 3-4 years before it is at the top. This wine is a blend that is a little on the "unusual" side but nothing bad about that! Peculiar blend, but oh man does this work. The nose is fig, plum, blackberry. The entry is dark, thick. Tar, blackberry, fig. Middle of plum, brambly, red clay. Massive black and purple fruit finish. Cherry cola finish. A little sweeter toasted tannin. Massive structure.

Nov 27th, 2017If this is how this one is NOW, I can only see how it will be 5 YEARS from now! Great pot roast wine! Massive, yet still locked up. Nice and dusty. Cannot wait to visit in September!

A new vineyard to me. This is a young wine and will benefit from age. It is very well made with long flavors and complexity. Great finish. Will buy again.
