Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, November 16, 2021 - Cellared since release...last bottle of WHL in the cellar(tear). Just like the 95 was a couple years ago, this bottle is showing brilliantly! Deep youthful garnet/red plum color...intoxicating nose of pencils, cedar box, leather, wild berry jam...the fruit is still sweet and loaded with flavor...plum/cherry/blackberry/wild strawberry...silky smooth tannins, SO polished and seamless, yet still has a firm dusty(Rutherford dust!) spice to it for structure...youthful tart kick of acidity, though not as sour as the 95...a beam a brightness. Balance is perfect...subtle complexities of dark chocolate coffee bean, tobacco leaf, bayleaf, dried cranberry. Just LOVE these old school 90's Cabs...they are almost always drinking top notch...and totally takes me back to when I first started falling in love with wine! So worth it just for that.
