Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Dense and profoundly purple, this wine exhibits elegant high toned aromatics of subtle leather from new oak that intermingles with graham, savory herbs, and cigar box. The wine has beautiful, ripe fruit with our classic Walla Walla structure that provides a nice texture and transitions to a firm and well-balanced mouthfeel. Upon its release, the wine will benefit from more bottle aging and with proper cellaring, this wine should age well for a decade or more.
Ratings
95 POINTS- Vinous: The 2019 Red Wine Estate Reserve by Woodward Canyon is a gorgeous offering that features red florals, green bell pepper, tar, and cassis on the nose. The palate shows glorious length and a soft mouthfeel, revealing layers of crème de cassis, anise, and blackberry cordial along with herbal undertones. Gorgeous now, this has another 15-20 years to go. 92 POINTS - James Sucking: A quiet nose of blackberry, mulberry, and sage. Full-bodied with fine tannins. Coffee and herbs color the rich dark-fruited palate. Good depth and concentration. 46% cabernet sauvignon, 23% merlot, 15% malbec, 8% petit verdot and 8% malbec. Best after 2024. 91 POINTS, Cellar Selection- Wine Enthusiast
