2004 Lake William
|
|
94 pts - Exceptional, Gold Medal - Beverage Testing Institute; Judges' Choice - The San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition: Lake William is the Cabernet Sauvignon blend which started out as a cellar mistake but is now a most sought after blend. It is named after the lake which borders and cools the estate vineyards that makes up the blend. Each vintage’s varietal composition varies dependent on the blending of our Winemaker Consultant, Dimitri Tchelistcheff. The 2004 vintage of Lake William combines 49% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Cabernet Franc, 20% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot. Twenty-three months of barrel aging in 100% new French Nevers oak adds a note of toasty vanilla to the rich red currant aroma and elegant berry flavors of this wine. For those who choose to cellar this wine, it should continue to develop beautifully through 2015. |
