* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Aging in small American oak has given this a bold sheen of vanilla and dill to go with its fruit-derived flavors of chocolate and blackberries. Creamy and ripe, with a supple texture and slightly crisp finish. Drink now–2012.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
The fruit for this cuvée comes from an older block of vines, then goes into French oak for aging, so it’s substantially different from The Willows’ regular Shiraz bottling. Cinnamon, pepper, cherry and vanilla notes intermingle on the nose, imparting a distinct cinnamon-red hot character that’s balanced on the palate by creamy layers of cherry and raspberry fruit. Supple and elegant on the finish. Drink now–2014.
