Wine Advocate #185 Oct 2009 Jay Miller 87 Drink: Now The 2006 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon saw 31% new oak. The nose offers up toast, pencil lead, black currant, and black cherry. On the palate it is medium-bodied, ripe, and savory. Well balanced and medium-long, it may evolve for 1-2 years and drink now. Waterbrook, one of the pioneer wineries in Walla Walla, was purchased in 2006 by Precept Brands which is nearing completion of a large, new winery just outside of the city limits. It is clear that production will be ramped up significantly so the test will be whether quality at the level of the above wines can be maintained.
