Wm. Harrison Vineyards & Winery (William Harrison)
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
This is a very youthful wine. Still, with about an hour of decanting, this one was drinking very lovely. The nose and palate is sweet black cherry with red clay influence. This Rutherford site has such dynamic soil and Bill has been making terroir driven wines for 20+ years from this same parcel of land. The finish has good acidity and a sweeter cedary type of tannin but the wine is already incredibly balanced given its youth. 94 now with definite improvement expected in the 10 or 15 years that it will develop.

Mar 4th, 2019Youthful power. Sweet Blackberry nose. Ripe Blackberry and espresso front. Middle of black licorice and leather. Finish is dusty, black and almost blue fruits but has a hint of red clay and limestone. This one is showing VERY well in its youth. The STRUCTURE here is incredible. I will be buying a mag or 3L of this to put away for the next 10 to 20 years.
