This wine is a nice Bordeaux Blend of approximately 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Estate Merlot - a wine that will tantalize your senses.
Soft-spoken and humble like his wines, Bill Williamson is a revolutionary in the appellations of Sonoma and Napa Valley, uncovering each individual terroir and its potential through sustainable viticulture and precise, non-interventionist winemaking allowing the unique characteristics of each individual terroir to contribute to the quality and mystery of the overall blended wine.
The Cabernet comes from three completely different appellations where the different terroir characteristics really push the boundaries of complexity.
The Merlot brings softness while the small amount of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot brings the whole blend together as a beautiful wine that will tantalize your senses.
The result was both lower yields and smaller berries across all varieties. The drought conditions also led to early harvest times throughout the region. Wines made from all varieties show greater flavor concentration, natural intensity and good ageing potential.
