Needs time to breath. A bit acidic, not tannic but it balances the wine. Not sure where this will go with age but it is drinking well now with a moderate decant. The wine looks purple colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. The flavor is mocha and forest floor...very earthy. It's not a big Cali cab but it is a really good example of what I like about whitehall. The body is medium/full. The wine has linear texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has high acidity.

Pretty good wine for the price. Needs some time to open up - very closed and bitter straight out of the bottle. Not very complex but also nothing objectionable.

Needed an hour or so but became a solid 90. Fine fruit and tannins and a decent finish. Should be good for another 3-5 years.

Beautiful nose of blackberry, cassis, vanilla and baking spice. Dark fruit on the mid palate. Mid length finish.
