Once again the softness of the middle palate as well as a new sense of depth and breeding give this wine a unique stature. While the fruit is well defined and unctuous, the wine carries a sense of softness not to be belied by its thick and almost addicting sense of balanced fruit and sophisticated flora and fauna accents. As we had hoped, this vineyard is attaining new stature in the WA wine world and will eventually be equal with vineyards which have, to date, received much attention. We thank Scott Greer for his long and at times very arduous work in bringing this vineyard to the world’s attention.
Wine Advocate The 2005 Andrew Will portfolio leads off with the 2005 Sheridan Vineyard. The wine is composed of 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Cabernet Franc, and 28% Merlot. This purple-colored effort offers up an array of spices including clove, cinnamon, and allspice as well as cedar and tobacco notes. Saint-Emilion-like on the palate, it hides enough tannin to support 2-3 years of further bottle age. There is enough depth and balance to suggest that this rather elegant wine will drink well through 2025. Score: 92. —Jay Miller, June 2008.All sizes are 750mL unless otherwise noted.
