2018 WIYANA WANDA TASTING NOTES:

Wiyana Wanda is our top tier Bordeaux Blend. Always Cabernet Sauvignon dominant, the 2018 vintage is composed of Cabernet Sauvignon (73%), Merlot (21%), Cabernet Franc (3%) and Malbec (3%). The barrels designated for this blend were vinified and aged in separate lots. Blended 12 months after harvest by selecting the best French Oak barrels by taste. After blending, the wine was returned to French Oak barrels to allow the wine to integrate. Bottled unfined and unfiltered after a total of 24 months in barrel.

Powerful nose of raspberry, all-spice and new leather. Dry, medium acidity, medium plus alcohol and strong chalky tannins. Molasses and tobacco start on the palate, shifting to red fruit, then orange peel on the finish. Decant now or drink 2023-2030+.
