Lake William is a proprietary blend named after the lake which borders and cools the two estate vineyards which provide the grapes for this blend. The 1996 Lake William is a delightful blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot. This wine has an aroma rich in violets, fresh blueberries, and toasty vanilla. A lush combination of blueberry and cassis flavors is complimented by a lush velvety finish. This blend has a very charming freshness about it and is ideal for drinking as a young wine. However, with proper cellaring, this wine will continue to develop beautifully for the next 10 years. Alcohol: 13.4% by volume
